About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific in this 1920s survey, revealing the early coastal development of Los Angeles before the era of modern sprawl. The Coast Highway traces the shoreline, connecting established enclaves like Castellammare and Inceville to the growing community of Pacific Palisades. The landscape is a mix of rugged canyons and private holdings, with the Trippet Ranch, Claude Parker Ranch, and Uplitters Ranch occupying the high ground above the surf.
