1925 Map of Sylmar

About this map

Sylmar sits at the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley in the mid-1920s, a period defined by significant infrastructure and institutional development. The map details a landscape where the infrastructure of the City of Los Angeles meets the foothills, featuring the large Upper San Fernando Reservoir and a system of power lines maintained by the Southern California Edison Co, including a specific Power House. The presence of the Olive View Sanitarium and the San Fernando Cemetery reflects the area's role as a site for public health and civic services removed from the city center.
