1935 Map of Wilsona

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Wilsona and the surrounding expanse of the Antelope Valley appear here during a period of early 20th-century desert settlement, characterized by a burgeoning grid of rural roads and scattered water sources. The landscape is defined by the stark prominence of Saddleback Butte to the northwest and Black Butte to the south, while the hydrological pattern of the desert is revealed through features like Ellen Slough and Moody Spr. This 1930s survey, supported by data from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, documents the transition of this arid region into a structured network of thoroughfares, including Avenue J and El Mirage Road. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map provides precise locations for early landmarks like several named wells and a Tank, reflecting the vital importance of water infrastructure for the homesteaders of this era.
