About this map

Cordova Ranch and the small settlement of Martins occupy a complex network of canyons and ridges in the northern reaches of Los Angeles County during the early 1930s. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of Violin Canyon and Castaic Creek, where the ruggedness of the Angeles National Forest meets early modern infrastructure. The path of U S Highway Route No 99 winds through the canyons alongside a prominent transmission line and a strategically placed Airway Beacon, marking the era's critical transportation and utility corridors between the Central Valley and the Los Angeles Basin.
