Description

A fascinating map of Los Angeles, prepared in in the second half of the 1920s, utilizing one of Los Angeles's earliest survey maps.

The place names located around the map, for which red lines and circles identify the locations, are some of Los Angeles's oldest landmarks.

We have dated the map based upon its naming the Subway Terminal, which was constructed in 1924 and opened in 1925.

While seemingly a promotional map, it is quite possible that the purpose of the map was the promotion of an urban project, rather than a more general tourist/business type purpose and this may well have been utilized for some sort of development or re-development.

This is the first time we have ever seen this map.

[Lower Colorado River and Gila River] Plan de L'Embouchure Du Rio Colorado dans la Mer Vermeille

Rare early map showing the confluence of the Gila River and the Colorado River, along with the Northern tip of the Gulf of California, then also known as the Red Sea, because of the color of the water which flowed from the Rio Colorado (Red River) into the Gulf. In those days, the channel was still quite navigable available for use by Steamboats, hence the accurate soundings and other minute details.
