1928 Map of San Pedro Hills

About this map

The San Pedro Hills rise sharply from the Pacific Ocean San Pedro Channel, defining the topography of the peninsula in the late 1920s. This survey, conducted shortly before the reprinted 1932 edition, illustrates the early residential planning of Palos Verdes Estates and Los Palos Verdes Estates, characterized by winding roads like Paseo Del Mar following the coastal bluffs. The interior remains relatively open, dominated by the high point at San Pedro Hill, while industrial and military footprints expand toward the east.
