1966 Map of Van Nuys

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The San Fernando Valley landscape shown here is defined by mid-century suburban expansion and the massive infrastructure required to manage it. The Sepulveda Dam Recreational Area dominates the southwest, providing a buffer for the Los Angeles River as it winds through Sherman Oaks and Studio City. This era of the valley is characterized by a dense grid of residential streets punctuated by essential community institutions like the U.S. Veterans Hospital and the Van Nuys Airport. Major transit arteries, including the San Diego Freeway and Hollywood Freeway, serve as the primary conduits through neighborhoods such as Panorama City and North Hollywood. Cultural landmarks like CBS Studios and the Los Encinos State Historic Mon reveal the blend of media industry presence and conserved early California history that shaped the San Fernando Valley's local identity during this period.
