1933 Map of West Alpine Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

Antelope Valley spreads across the northern Los Angeles County landscape in this 1930s survey, defined by a rigid grid of early desert roads. The prominent elevation of Alpine Butte anchors the eastern side of the sheet, rising sharply above the alluvial plains. This environment is characterized by ephemeral watercourses like Little Rock Wash and Rock Creek, which illustrate the drainage patterns toward the valley floor. Settlers and ranchers in areas like Tierra Bonita and Casa Desierta relied on scattered groundwater sources, indicated here by simple Well labels. The map reveals an early 20th-century stage of development where long thoroughfares such as Avenue J and Tierra Bonita Road were already being established to segment the high desert for future growth.
