1925 Map of Sawtelle

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The sprawling canyons and emerging subdivisions of West Los Angeles dominate this mid-1920s survey, illustrating a landscape in rapid transition from Mexican land grant ranchos to modern urban corridors. The massive grounds of the Soldiers Home and the adjacent town of Sawtelle anchor the central valley, surrounded by the historical remnants of San Jose de Buenos Ayres and Rodeo de Las Aguas. To the south, the early footprint of aviation history is marked at the Aviation Field near La Ballona, while the grid of Santa Monica meets the shore at the Municipal Pier.
