1901 Map of Southern California Sheet No. 1

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

Los Angeles and its emerging coastal satellites define this 1901 landscape, captured just as the region's massive rail network began to reshape the basin. Compiled by J.E. Rockhold, the map illustrates a complex web of transit including the Pacific Electric Ry. and the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, linking inland hubs like San Bernardino and Riverside to the ports at San Pedro and Redondo. Beyond the gridded citrus groves and budding townships, the survey documents vast protected areas like the San Gabriel Timber Land Reserve and the San Bernardino Forest Reserve, reflecting early federal conservation efforts in the mountains.
