1900 Map of Tujunga

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Southern Pacific RR cuts through the northern canyons of the San Gabriel Timber Land Reserve, following a route that connects the settlements of Acton, Ravenna, and Soledad. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of Tujunga Creek and the West Fork San Gabriel River, where mining and ranching outposts established a tenuous foothold. The Monte Cristo Mines sit isolated in the interior, reachable only by winding trails through the complex topography of Gleason Mt. and Strawberry Peak. Downstream, the Hoyt Ranch represents the early agricultural development of these mountain valleys. The map documents an era before the massive infrastructure of modern Los Angeles, showing the region as a protected timber and forest reserve defined by primitive roads and family-named peaks like Mt. Emma and Parker Mt.
