About this map

The San Gabriel Timber Land Reserve dominates the northern half of this landscape, its steep canyons like Cattle Canyon and Cape Horn Canyon feeding into the forks of the San Gabriel River. This 1894 survey documents the eastern San Gabriel Valley during its formative citrus era, showing the grid-like development of agricultural colonies and railroad towns. The tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad define the transportation corridors, connecting established hubs like Pomona with smaller settlements such as Lordsburg and Alosta.
