About this map

The San Fernando Valley was undergoing a significant transition from citrus and poultry ranching to suburban expansion when this survey was updated in the late 1930s. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of streets like Devonshire Street and Saticoy Street, overlaying the historic boundaries of the Ex Mission San Fernando. Evidence of the area's specialized agricultural history is visible at the Runnymede Poultry Colony near Reseda, while the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains show more secluded settlements like Twin Lakes and Marwyck Ranch. Transportation infrastructure anchors the region, with the Southern Pacific and the Pacific Electric lines connecting towns such as Chatsworth and Canoga Park to the wider Los Angeles basin. This document captures the moment when Zelzah Northridge PO and Sta was still a primary local hub before its mid-century development boom.
