1935 Map of Wilsona

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Antelope Valley dominates this 1930s landscape, showing a sparse desert settlement pattern characterized by long, straight thoroughfares like Avenue M and El Mirage Road. The small community of Wilsona sits at a crossroads, serving as a focal point for the homesteaders and ranchers who relied on the scattered water sources of the high desert. The topography is defined by the prominent Saddleback Butte rising sharply above the surrounding flats, while seasonal water features like Eller Slough and Moody Spr indicate the vital importance of drainage and natural springs in this arid environment. This survey, completed under Alfred Jones, County Surveyor, documents the early development of northern Los Angeles County before widespread modernization transformed the region's agricultural and residential layout.
