About this map

San Gabriel Mountains dominate the northern horizon of this 1940s landscape, where the Angeles National Forest meets the rapidly developing valley floor. The map documents a critical period of infrastructure growth, featuring the Santa Anita Dam and Sierra Madre Dam tucked into the steep canyons of Little Santa Anita Canyon and Santa Anita Canyon. On the plains below, the horse-racing venue at Santa Anita Park and the adjacent Santa Anita County Park serve as major regional landmarks.
