USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Industrial expansion and residential development define the corridor between South Gate and Compton in the late 1940s. The landscape is a dense network of rail and road, where the Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific lines serve growing neighborhoods like Lynwood and Cudahy. A unique mix of institutional and cultural landmarks is visible, from the historic Lugo Adobe and the sprawl of Rancho Los Amigos (Hondo PO) to the Angeles Abbey Mausoleum.
