Southern California map from 1915

Posted by con_carne Mar 12 '15, 12:07

The empty squares inbetween are pretty much farm land. No Malibu, no LAX, no Montebello/East LA. Torrance is so tiny! Big ol' swamp by Compton.

Weird place names: Tropico, Savannah, Lankersh*e*im, Marion, Owensmouth, Clearwater, Cliffton...
