1896 Map of Redondo

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The San Pedro Hills and the coastal bluffs of Los Palos Verdes dominate this late 19th-century survey of the South Bay and Harbor areas. The landscape is a study in early rail infrastructure, featuring the Redondo R. R. and the S. P. R. R. San Pedro Branch serving the maritime hubs of Redondo and Wilmington. Significant historical landmarks appear, such as the Drum Barracks military post and the developing port at Port Ballona. Inland, the map captures a grid of nascent settlements and rural waypoints including Gardena, Moneta, and Strawberry Park, interspersed with natural wetlands like Nigger Slough and Ballona Lagoon. This documentation precedes the massive industrial dredging and harbor expansion of the 20th century, showing Wilmington Lagoon and Mormon Id. in their original coastal configurations before the transformation of the Los Angeles waterfront.
