1942 Map of Sunland

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Sunland sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in this postwar revision of a pre-war survey, capturing a suburbanizing Los Angeles landscape before major freeway construction. The Hansen Flood Control Basin dominates the west, its massive Spillway 1060 holding back the drainage from Tujunga Wash and several canyons like Lopez Canyon and Kagel Canyon. The urban grid of the Tujunga Valley is shown in detail, with early arterial roads like Foothill Blvd and Glenoaks Blvd providing the primary structure for growth.
