1966 Map of Sunland

About this map

Sunland and Tujunga sit at the mouth of the Big Tujunga Canyon, where the residential expansion of the mid-1960s meets the steep foothills of the Angeles National Forest. The map detail shows the transition from the dense street grids along Foothill Blvd to specialized land uses at the urban fringe, including the Lakeview Terrace Sanitarium and the Glen Haven Memorial Park. Massive flood control infrastructure dominates the southwest, with Hansen Dam and its spreading grounds managing the outflow from the canyons into the Tujunga Valley.
