1930 Map of Pearland

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Pearland emerges as a focal point of early twentieth-century desert development within the high Antelope Valley. This 1930 survey, directed by County Surveyor J. E. Rockhold, illustrates a landscape defined by an ambitious grid of orchard-era streets such as Pear Blossom Highway and Mariposa Street. The mapping reveals the essential water infrastructure required for high-desert agriculture, documenting numerous wells and the Little Rock Ditch that sustained local growers. Historical transportation routes are a primary feature, including the Southern Pacific railroad line and the historic Old Fort Tejon Road, which cuts diagonally across the undulating terrain. To the west, the Palmdale Cemetery stands as a permanent record of early local families. The detail provided for the First Standard Parallel North and the intricate drainage of Rock Wash provides a clear view of the area's physical and surveyed geography before modern expansion.
