About this map

The settlement of Newhall serves as the focal point for this early 1930s survey, situated at the convergence of vital transportation corridors that cut through the canyon-scored landscape of Northern Los Angeles County. The Southern Pacific railroad and the heavily traveled Highway No 99 navigate the complex terrain, winding past the Dept of Commerce Landing Field and an Airway Beacon, highlighting the era's evolving infrastructure for both ground and air transit.

Southward, the Santa Susana Mountains dominate the topography, where the Los Angeles City Boundary is delineated across the heights. Notable geographic landmarks such as the San Fernando Pass and a significant Tunnel indicate the historic efforts to connect the San Fernando Valley with the Santa Clara River basin. The map also records the extent of the historic Ex Mission San Fernando lands and numerous named drainage features including Pico Canyon, Rice Canyon, and Weldon Canyon.
