1924 Map of Van Nuys

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

San Fernando Valley settlement patterns are captured here during a pivotal decade of expansion, showing the grid-based development of Van Nuys surrounded by expansive agricultural and ranch lands. The map delineates the vast Ex Mission San Fernando grant, where the transition from pastoral use to suburban lots is evident. The transportation network is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad and the extensive Pacific Electric (Owensmouth Line), which facilitated the valley’s rapid growth by connecting it to the broader Los Angeles basin.
