1928 Map of Sierra Madre

About this map

Sierra Madre and Monrovia anchor the northern foothills in this late 1920s survey, where the developing citrus belts and residential tracts meet the steep slopes of the Angeles National Forest. The landscape reveals a complex transportation network transitioning from the electric rail era to modern roadway corridors, with the Pacific Electric lines and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe traversing the Santa Anita and San Francisquito ranch lands. Local commerce and civic life are centered around Lamanda Park and the burgeoning community of San Marino.
