1933 Map of Oban

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Antelope Valley is defined here by its rigid grid of numbered avenues and the dominant vertical axis of the Southern Pacific railroad. Surveyed originally in 1930 and updated following the war, this map shows Lancaster emerging as a regional hub at the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and the Sierra Highway. The landscape outside the budding town site is a mixture of recreation and agriculture, dotted with several Gun Clubs and the Wagas Land Company Gun Clubs in the northern reaches. Near the edge of the Rosamond Dry Lake, social and leisure sites like the Piute Club (Golf) and Moore Club highlight the valley's mid-century character. The presence of the Antelope Valley Fair Grounds and a dedicated Landing Field near the town center reflects Lancaster's role as a gathering point for this high desert community.
