1896 Map of San Pedro

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Los Palos Verdes rises sharply from the Pacific Ocean in this late nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its maritime geography and early rail infrastructure. The coastal settlement of San Pedro is situated near the bustling San Pedro Bay, serving as a critical terminal point for the S. P. R. R. (San Pedro Branch). Across the narrow channel, East San Pedro and the L. A. Terminal R. R. occupy the low-lying reaches of Rattlesnake Id., illustrating the early industrial development of the harbor before modern dredging and reclamation efforts reshaped the shoreline.
