1995 Map of Pasadena

About this map

Pasadena and its neighboring San Gabriel Valley communities appear in high detail during the mid-1990s, showcasing a landscape defined by its world-renowned institutions and steep mountain borders. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute of Technology) occupies the northern edge near the mouth of Arroyo Seco, while the Rose Bowl and the California Institute of Technology anchor the heart of the city. The map highlights the transition from the densely settled urban grid of Los Angeles and Glendale to the southern foothills of the Angeles National Forest. Notable for genealogists and local historians, it identifies numerous neighborhood institutions such as St Elizabeth Sch, Occidental College, and the sprawling Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Cem). The complex transportation network includes the Glendale Freeway and Pasadena Freeway, which navigate the folds of the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains.
