1926 Map of Van Nuys

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The San Fernando Valley landscape shown here reflects the early development of Van Nuys, established along the Southern Pacific railroad line. The grid-like street patterns of the town center, including Van Owen Street and Oxnard Street, contrast sharply with the southern reaches of the Santa Monica Mountains. This era shows the region before the massive post-war residential expansion, where the Los Angeles River and Tujunga Wash cross a largely agricultural floor below the Ex Mission San Fernando lands.
