1926 Map of Van Nuys

About this map

The San Fernando Valley of the mid-1920s is captured here in a period of transition from expansive ranch lands to structured suburban grids. Centered on the growing hub of Van Nuys, the map illustrates a landscape still dominated by the historical footprint of the Ex Mission San Fernando. The Southern Pacific railroad serves as the primary artery for the valley, while the emerging street network, including Ventura Boulevard and Sherman Way, begins to define the future urban layout.
