About this map

Angeles National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this 1995 revision, where the steep terrain of Mendenhall Ridge and Yerba Buena Ridge transitions into the urban edge of the San Fernando Valley. The survey details the interface between developed areas like Sunland and Tujunga and the natural drainages of Big Tujunga Creek and Pacoima Canyon.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant sites such as the Verdugo Hills Cem, Oak Haven Memorial Park, and institutions like the Lakeview Terrace Sanitarium. The map documents early ranching footprints at Dillon Ranch and Paradise Ranch, alongside the mid-century infrastructure of the Hansen Dam and the expansive Spreading Grounds used for regional water management. Educational landmarks including Verdugo Hills High Sch and the Preparatory Inst of Notre Dame anchor the residential neighborhoods along Foothill Blvd.
