1927 Map of Pacoima

About this map

The San Fernando Mission stands as a central historical anchor in this northern portion of the San Fernando Valley, marking a landscape in the midst of a transition from its vast ranching origins toward planned suburban growth. Recorded shortly after the mid-1920s, the map reveals the complex boundary of Ex Mission San Fernando and the established town centers of San Fernando and Pacoima. The infrastructure of early Los Angeles is clearly visible, featuring the sprawling San Fernando Reservoir and the intersection of the Southern Pacific Railroad with the Pacific Electric lines. Large tracts of land remain relatively open, particularly around Mission Acres and Valley Ranch, though a dense grid of streets like Sepulveda Boulevard and Van Nuys Boulevard is already being laid out. Local civic life is represented by the Saticoy School, while the northeast corner rises into the foothills of the Angeles National Forest.
