USGS Topo · Published 1925About this map
The San Gabriel River flows through a landscape defined by rapid industrialization and agricultural roots in the mid-1920s. A dense cluster of Oil Wells dominates the area around Santa Fe Springs, illustrating the region's petroleum boom that transformed the former Rancho Santa Gertrudes. This economic activity is supported by a sophisticated network of transportation, including the Pacific Electric and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which linked these inland settlements to the growing Los Angeles metropolitan core.
