1953 Map of San Fernando

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The San Fernando Mission and its adjacent San Fernando Mission Cem serve as historical anchors for this mid-century view of the San Fernando Valley. While the valley floor is transitioning into a suburban grid, the northern portion of the map is dominated by the steep, canyon-riven San Gabriel Mountains within the San Gabriel National Forest. Transport and infrastructure are central to the landscape, from the Southern Pacific railroad line following San Fernando Rd to the aviation presence at San Fernando Airport and Whiteman Air Park.
