About this map

The San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo define this segment of the Los Angeles Basin, where rapid mid-century suburban expansion meets established institutional landmarks. Educational centers like Whittier College and Biola College anchor the residential landscape, while large specialized facilities such as the Metropolitan State Hospital and the sprawling Rose Hills Memorial Park occupy significant portions of the terrain. The map documents a dense grid of residential streets and civic infrastructure, including the City Hall and numerous parochial schools like St John of God Sch and St Hilarys Sch.
