1933 Map of Newhall

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Newhall serves as a critical junction for rail and road travel in this 1930s survey, situated where the Southern Pacific tracks and the San Fernando Road converge. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainage systems of the Santa Susana Mountains, featuring numerous named drainages such as Towsley Canyon and Wiley Canyon that channel into Newhall Creek. The map documents early aviation infrastructure with the Dept of Commerce Landing Field and a strategically placed Airway Beacon near the San Fernando Pass. This transition point between the Santa Clarita Valley and the Los Angeles Basin is further defined by the Ex Mission San Fernando lands and the northernmost Los Angeles City Boundary. The presence of a Tunnel on the railroad line highlights the engineering required to navigate the barrier between these two regions.
