1939 Map of La Crescenta

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Mt Lukens and the Big Gabriel Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this 1930s survey, showing the steep canyons and firebreaks of the Los Angeles National Forest. Below the mountain front, the communities of Tujunga, La Crescenta, and La Cañada are seen in a period of rapid suburban expansion along Foothill Blvd. The map reveals a landscape still transitioning from rural ranching to residential development, with landmarks like the Hillcrest Sanitarium and various mountain camps such as Camp Sterling and the Burbank YMCA Camp situated at the forest edge.
