1896 Map of Redondo

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

The San Pedro Hills rise sharply from the coastline of this late-nineteenth-century survey, anchoring a landscape where Spanish land grant identities like Sausal Redondo and Los Palos Verdes still define the geography. The coastal settlement of Redondo serves as a primary hub, connected by the Redondo RR. and the Redondo Branch to inland towns such as Gardena and Inglewood. Evidence of the region's military and maritime history is found at the Drum Barracks and Wilmington Lagoon near Wilmington, while Port Ballona and the Ballona Lagoon mark the northern shore. The interior reveals a grid of emerging agricultural and residential pockets, including Strawberry Park and Green Meadows, alongside large natural features like Nigger Slough and Bixby Slough that once dominated the low-lying plains.
