1926 Map of Sunland

About this map

Tujunga Valley and the northern reaches of the San Fernando Valley define this mid-1920s landscape, illustrating a period of transition before the heavy suburbanization of the region. The map captures a largely open terrain where early infrastructure like the Edison Power Line and the Southern Pacific San Fernando Line cut across the alluvial plains of the Tujunga Wash. Settlement centers are concentrated at Sunland, Roscoe, and Hewitt, showing the early grid layouts and road networks such as Lankershim Boulevard and Sherman Way.
