About this map

The Los Palos Verdes Hills and the rugged coastline of Santa Monica Bay dominate this 1943 tactical study, which captures the South Bay and Gateway Cities during the height of the war effort. The map reveals an intensive network of aviation and petroleum infrastructure, including Hughes Airport, Vultee Field, and numerous oil fields and oil tanks concentrated around Torrance and Wilmington. The coastal landscape is marked by prominent maritime landmarks such as Point Fermin and the extensive Long Beach Breakwater, while the interior shows the early density of communities like Inglewood, Compton, and South Gate.
