1896 Map of San Pedro

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Los Palos Verdes dominates the coastline in this late nineteenth-century survey, revealing the rugged topography of the peninsula before modern residential development. Along the eastern edge, the burgeoning port at San Pedro and East San Pedro is already a hub of transit, serviced by the S.P.R.R. (San Pedro Branch) and the L.A. Terminal R.R.. This map provides a clear view of the original coastal geography, including small islands like Deadman Id. and Rattlesnake Id. that have since been heavily altered or integrated into the harbor complex. From the beacon at Point Fermin L.H. to the high elevations of San Pedro Hill, the document records the early maritime and rail infrastructure that would eventually transform this stretch of San Pedro Bay into a global shipping center.
