1942 Map of Sunland

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Hansen Flood Control Basin dominates the geography of this 1942 survey, reflecting mid-century infrastructure designed to manage the unpredictable Tujunga Wash. This era shows a transition from rural agricultural uses to early aviation and suburban expansion, anchored by the Southern Pacific rail line. Local aviation history is remarkably dense here, with both Adams Airport and the sprawling Lockheed Air Terminal positioned near the southern boundary. Settlement patterns are concentrated around Sunland in the Tujunga Valley and the neighborhood of Roscoe further south.
