About this map

Hansen Flood Control Basin dominates the center of this landscape, positioned where the Tujunga Wash exits the high canyons of the San Gabriel Mountains. This mid-century view captures the northeastern corner of the San Fernando Valley during a period of rapid wartime development and aviation expansion. Early flight history is well-represented by both Adams Airport and the neighboring Lockheed Air Terminal, which served as critical hubs for the region's burgeoning aerospace industry.
