1991 Map of Sunland

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Sunland and Tujunga sit at the base of the Angeles National Forest, where the urban sprawl of the San Fernando Valley meets the sharp ascent of Mendenhall Ridge. This 1991 survey shows a landscape of institutional and residential expansion, featuring the Lakeview Terrace Sanitarium and several educational landmarks such as Mt Gleason Jr H S and Verdugo Hills High Sch. The map documents the critical water infrastructure and debris management systems essential for life at the foot of these mountains, including the Hansen Dam Flood Control Basin and various spreading grounds designed to manage the runoff from Big Tujunga Creek and Little Tujunga Creek. Genealogy researchers will find the Verdugo Hills Cem and Glen Haven Memorial Park clearly delineated. Higher into the forest, isolated outposts like Dillon Ranch and Karl Holton Camp appear alongside names like The Pinnacle and Limerock Peak, indicating the transition from suburban development to the protected wilderness of the national forest.
