1939 Map of La Crescenta

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The San Gabriel Mountains dominate the northern half of this Los Angeles County landscape, providing a stark contrast to the burgeoning valley developments of the late 1930s. The map captures a transitional moment for the Crescenta Valley, where the grid of La Crescenta and Montrose pushes up against the steep canyons. Significant local landmarks such as the Hillcrest Sanitarium and the Burbank YMCA Camp are visible, alongside established ranch lands like Big Tujunga Ranch and Ybarra Ranch.
