1900 Map of Los Angeles

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Los Angeles stands at the center of a rapidly evolving coastal plain at the turn of the century, bounded by the San Gabriel Timber Land Reserve and the Santa Monica Mountains. This map captures the region's agricultural roots before the massive urbanization of the 20th century, showing extensive rancho boundaries such as La Brea and San Jose de Buenos Ayres. The street grid of the city center contrasts with peripheral settlements like Hollywood and Colegrove, which appear as distinct small communities.
