1952 Map of Oat Mountain

About this map

Granada Hills and Chatsworth anchor the northern reaches of the San Fernando Valley in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape where burgeoning suburban development met the steep, rugged slopes of the Santa Susana Mountains. The map provides a detailed view of early street grids along Balboa Blvd and Devonshire St, while the mountains to the north are dominated by deep-cut drainage systems such as Aliso Canyon and Rice Canyon.
