About this map

San Gabriel Mountains peaks and deep drainage canyons dominate this 1929 survey, which captures the northern edge of the Los Angeles basin during a period when the area was known for its specialized medical facilities. The map highlights a cluster of large institutions at the mountain's base, including the Olive View Sanatorium, the Government Sanatorium, and the U S Veterans Sanatorium. These locations were chosen for their elevation and air quality, essential for respiratory care at the time.
