1927 Map of Pacoima

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The San Fernando Valley in the late 1920s is captured here as a grid of citrus groves and developing townsites before the mid-century suburban explosion. The San Fernando Mission stands as a central historical landmark, while the nearby Metropolitan Airport and the massive San Fernando Reservoir signal the region's rapid 20th-century modernization. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Southern Pacific Line and the Pacific Electric railway, which facilitated the movement of people and produce through established hubs like San Fernando and Pacoima. Smaller settlements such as Sepulveda and North Sherman Way are visible as nascent residential nodes. Tracing the courses of the Pacoima Wash and Tujunga Wash reveals the natural drainage patterns of the Ex Mission San Fernando lands before they were heavily channelized.
