1945 Map of San Fernando
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
San Fernando serves as the focal point of this mid-century study, showing the city's grid emerging within the broader San Fernando Valley. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the alluvial washes of Tujunga Wash and Pacoima Wash to the steep elevations of the San Gabriel Mountains. Cultural landmarks like the San Fernando Mission and the sprawling boundary of Ex Mission San Fernando highlight the region's deep historical roots. The Southern Pacific railroad is a primary artery through the terrain, connecting small sidings and communities such as Honby, Thompson, and Humphreys. In the canyons to the north, numerous drainage systems like Soledad Canyon and Mint Canyon converge toward the Santa Clara River, illustrating the complex hydrology that shaped early development and transportation routes in Los Angeles County.
