1933 Map of Saugus

About this map

Saugus and the surrounding canyons of northern Los Angeles County are captured here just as the regional infrastructure was expanding rapidly. The map highlights the critical role of water and power management in the development of the high desert and valley regions, featuring the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Dry Canyon Reservoir. Transportation networks are heavily represented, with the Southern Pacific railroad and the Southern Ridge Route winding through the terrain, alongside early aviation landmarks like the Dept. of Commerce Landing Field and an Airway Beacon.
