1925 Map of Long Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Signal Hill rises above a densely gridded coastal landscape, its contours marked by the infrastructure of an era defined by oil and rapid expansion. This survey, compiled from data by Department of the Interior and Los Angeles County officials, reveals a city in transition. The urban grid of Long Beach extends eastward until it meets the tidal complexity of Alamitos Bay and the planned canals of Naples. The presence of the Pacific Electric railway highlights the critical role of interurban rail in connecting these shoreline communities before the total dominance of the automobile.
