USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
Industrial expansion and coastal development define the South Bay landscape in this mid-1930s survey. The city of Torrance appears as a major manufacturing hub, dominated by large-scale facilities such as the Columbia Steel Corporation, the Union Tool Co, and the General Petroleum Tank Farm. This industrial core is connected to the Pacific coast by the extensive Pacific Electric railway network, which links inland settlements like Lomita and Gardena to the shoreline.
