About this map

Infrastructure development and wildland management define this area of the Angeles National Forest during the mid-1930s. The map highlights the critical role of water and energy transport through the steep terrain, centered on the San Francisquito Power House No 2 and the adjacent Los Angeles Aqueduct. This site is of particular historical note as the original power house was destroyed during the St. Francis Dam disaster less than a decade before this survey, and the reconstructed facility shown here marks the recovery of the city's power grid.
