1925 Map of San Pedro Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The San Pedro Hills rise sharply above the Pacific in this 1925 survey, documenting the peninsula's landscape before the extensive residential development of later decades. This advance sheet, which includes topography by T.H. Moncure, highlights the transition between the rugged coastline at Portuguese Bend and the developing urban grid of San Pedro to the east. The map captures an era when the Palos Verdes Club and the San Pedro Golf Course were prominent landmarks on a peninsula still defined largely by its dramatic natural contours and coastal points like Point Vincente and Whites Point. Early transit corridors, including Western Ave and the Redondo and Wilmington Blvd, provide a glimpse into the regional infrastructure connecting Walteria and Harbor City to the surrounding Los Angeles basin during the mid-1920s.
