1944 Map of Tujunga

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Southern Pacific tracks wind through the northern canyons of this mid-century survey, passing through the small settlements of Acton and Ravenna within the high desert corridor. This landscape is dominated by the massive peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains, which occupy the majority of the Angeles National Forest. The map documents a critical era of regional infrastructure, showing the Angeles Crest Highway cutting through the southern ridges while the Tujunga Dam manages water flow below Josephine Mt. For researchers of early California mining, the presence of the Monte Cristo Mines along Monte Cristo Creek indicates the industrial activity that persisted in these steep canyons. The map also captures several private landings and family holdings like Hoyt Ranch, set against a backdrop of prominent summits including Strawberry Peak and Mt Lukens.
