1952 Map of Val Verde
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Extensive clusters of Oil Wells punctuate the canyons of the Santa Susana Mountains and Oak Ridge, defining the mid-century industrial character of this Los Angeles County landscape. The Santa Clara River serves as a primary corridor through the terrain, flanked by the Southern Pacific railroad and Telegraph Road. This transit-heavy valley floor contrasts with the higher elevations where family holdings like Hathaway Ranch, Lechler Ranch, and Stanley Ranch are established among the winding drainages of Hasley Canyon and San Martinez Grande Canyon. The settlement at Val Verde and the nearby Del Valle station represent the residential and logistics hubs of the era, supporting the surrounding petroleum extraction and agricultural operations within the Los Angeles Natl Forest border.
