1957 Map of Lovejoy Buttes

About this map

Lake Los Angeles serves as the focal point of this high desert landscape, showcasing a planned community grid established north of the Lovejoy Buttes rock formations. The 1957 base survey, updated with 1990 data, reveals the intersection of residential expansion and critical water management in the Antelope Valley. Significant hydrological features include Big Rock Wash and Rock Creek, which are managed by a network of levees and check dams to control seasonal runoff. Further south, the settlement of Llano sits along the Pearblossom Highway, reflecting the corridor's role as a primary transportation artery. Local infrastructure is anchored by institutions like the Lake Los Angeles Sch and Vista San Gabriel Sch, alongside essential services like a Fire Sta and a Gaging Sta near the southern washes.
