1964 Map of Torrance
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Torrance and its neighboring communities in the South Bay and Harbor areas show a mid-century landscape of rapid suburban expansion and heavy industry. The map captures the industrial character of the region through massive oil refinery operations and the sprawling oil field near Carson, balanced by the rising residential developments of Avalon Village and Rolling Hills Estates. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the San Diego Freeway grid provide the backbone for this economic growth, connecting the harbor's Turning Basin and West Basin to the rest of Los Angeles.
