1927 Map of Pacoima

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The San Fernando Mission stands as a central historical anchor in a landscape defined by rapid transition from agricultural estates to organized urban blocks during the late 1920s. This survey illustrates the intricate irrigation and transport infrastructure supporting the north end of the valley, featuring the San Fernando Reservoir and the divergent paths of the Pacoima Wash and Tujunga Wash. The grid system of the Los Angeles City Boundary expands alongside established rail lines, including the Southern Pacific and the Pacific Electric interurban network. Local life is documented through markers like the Saticoy School and the early Metropolitan Airport, while the named tracts of Mission Ex Mission San Fernando hint at the area's massive ranching heritage before the suburban subdivision took hold.
