1934 Map of Venice

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

The coastal marshlands of La Ballona and the Ballona Lagoon dominate this coastal landscape, showing the area before the extensive modern marina developments. The map illustrates a complex network of transportation and industry, with the Pacific Electric lines connecting the seaside resorts of Venice and Playa del Rey to the industrial south. To the south, the massive Standard Oil Co Refinery at El Segundo stands as a significant industrial landmark, complete with its own dedicated Standard Oil Co Pier. The transition from the dense urban grid of Venice High Sch and the Venice Pier to the open, marshy terrain around Machado and Alla captures the coastal expansion of the era. The hills of Sausal Redondo rise above the shoreline, providing the foundation for Loyola University and early residential growth near Manhattan Beach.
