1974 Map of Los Angeles

About this map

Los Angeles stands as the primary settlement in this corner of La Salle County during the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the intermittent drainages of Nogate Creek to the north and Charco Marrano Creek to the south, cutting through terrain marked by an extensive network of ranch roads and fence lines. Evidence of the region's transport history remains visible through the Old Railroad Grade that traverses the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the shift away from rail dependency as the 20th century progressed.
