1928 Map of Topanga Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific shoreline in this detailed 1925 survey, documenting the early residential and recreational development of western Los Angeles. The coastal fringe is punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Castle Rock and the Natural Arch near Topanga Beach, while the interior canyons show a landscape defined by private holdings and organizational retreats. Significant ranching and camping sites such as Trippet Ranch, Elkhorn Camp, and the Uplifters Ranch are scattered through the rugged terrain, illustrating how these canyons were utilized before dense suburban expansion.
