About this map

Chatsworth and Granada Hills anchor the southern base of the Santa Susana Mountains on this 2012 map, where suburban street grids meet the steep canyons of the transverse ranges. This interface is marked by significant cultural and topographical landmarks, such as the prominent sandstone formations of Stony Point and the nearby Garden of the Gods. To the north, the map documents the complex geography of the San Fernando Pass and Fremont Pass, critical transportation corridors shared by the Sierra Hwy and numerous tunnels.

Local history is reflected in the survival of named properties like Iverson Ranch and Brandeis Ranch, which stand in contrast to the dense residential developments of Deer Lake Highlands. High in the canyons, the landscape transitions to heavy industrial activity within the Pico Oil Field, Aliso Canyon Oil Field, and Cascade Oil Field, illustrating the area's dual identity as both a metropolitan edge and a productive resource zone.
