1952 Map of Newhall

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Santa Clara River valley life in the early 1950s is defined by the convergence of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the expanding Golden State Highway. The town of Newhall sits at the foot of the Santa Susana Mountains, serving as a hub for local families near the H M Newhall Memorial Park and Hart School. To the north, the Wayside Honor Rancho occupies a significant portion of the landscape, while the area around Saugus remains largely agricultural with landmarks like the Bonelli Ranch and Saugus School. The presence of numerous Oil Wells across the hillsides points to the era's petroleum industry, which operated alongside established ranching interests such as Placeritos Ranch and Newhall Ranch. The high-tension infrastructure of the Los Angeles Aqueduct cuts through the northern canyons, bridging the gap between the Angeles National Forest and the developing valley floor.
