1928 Map of La Crescenta

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Verdugo Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, rising above a series of burgeoning communities at the base of the Angeles National Forest. Surveyed in 1925, the map captures the transition of the Crescenta Valley from rural outposts to organized suburban developments. Settlements like Tujunga, La Crescenta, and Montrose are shown with a clear grid system of residential streets, while the presence of Highway Highlands and Altacanada reflects the early 20th-century expansion into the foothills. The road network is particularly well-defined, featuring prominent thoroughfares such as Honolulu Ave and Southern California Blvd that connected these growing towns to the wider Los Angeles region. Rugged drainages like Sunset Canyon and Halls Canyon underscore the topographical challenges faced by early planners and residents in this high-elevation corner of the county.
