1953 Map of Los Angeles
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Evergreen Cem and Home of Peace Cem anchor the landscape of East Los Angeles in this mid-century view, showing the dense clustering of community institutions and industrial corridors. The Los Angeles River serves as a primary geographic divider, flanked by the massive rail infrastructure of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. Centered around City Hall and Union Station, the downtown core transitions into established neighborhoods like Boyle Heights and Lincoln Heights, which are shown just as the modern freeway system began to reshape the urban fabric.
