1928 Map of Los Angeles
USGS Topo · Published 1928About this map
Los Angeles is revealed here as a rapidly maturing metropolis, surveyed just before the Great Depression began. The dense urban core radiates outward across a geometric street grid, bounded by the Los Angeles River and the rising elevations of Elysian Park and San Rafael. Major thoroughfares like Sunset Blvd and Wilshire Blvd are already established as primary arteries, while the presence of the Pacific Electric and Union Pacific railroads underscores the city's reliance on rail transport for both passengers and commerce.
