1933 Map of Saugus

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Santa Clara River valley and its surrounding canyons define this landscape at the end of the 1920s, serving as a critical infrastructure corridor for southern California. The Southern Pacific railroad and major thoroughfares like the Sierra Highway and San Fernando Road converge near Saugus, highlighting the area's role as a transportation hub. Water management is a dominant theme, evidenced by the Los Angeles Aqueduct winding through the terrain and the presence of the Dry Canyon Reservoir to the north. Aviation history is also represented by a Dept. of Commerce Landing Field and an Airway Beacon located near the riverbank. This survey, conducted by E.P. Davis for the Department of the Interior, captures the transition of the San Francisco region from ranch lands like Baker Ranch into a modern networked environment of transmission lines and sub-stations within the Angeles National Forest.
