1933 Map of Oban

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

Antelope Valley is defined by a rigid grid of surveyed avenues and the central corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad during the early 1930s. The settlement of Oban serves as a small rail siding, while the northern reaches of Lancaster begin to take shape at the bottom of the sheet. The landscape is notably occupied by numerous private recreational properties, including the Glendale Rod and Gun Club, Hoffman Club, and Clarke Club, suggesting a period when this high desert terrain was a destination for sports and social organizations. To the northeast, the edge of Rosamond Dry Lake anchors the topography, bordered by holdings of the Wagas Land Company. The presence of a Landing Field near the rail line reflects the early aviation infrastructure emerging in the region, while the strictly labeled grid from Avenue A through Avenue I illustrates the systematic division of the valley floor.
