Ooh. You should pin this for reference.
Good tip, will do.
Priceless.
Thanks so much for all your research.
I’ve seen most of these original maps at the Jonathan Club downtown
I had an aunt that lived in Burbank in the early 1950s. When she heard Disney was going to build a theme park in Anaheim she thought he'd lost his mind. No one would ever go that far.
Long drive
I grew up in Burbank in the early 50's and my parents took me to Disneyland when it opened in 1955. Long drive in those days and we picked peaches and oranges along the way. Funny, I remember my parents complaining that they spent a huge sum of $20 for the entire adventure of rides, food, souvenirs and gas. It was one of the best days of my childhood. I wish I had a street map of LA during the 50's.
@@dan1oval I don’t even remember my first time. It must have been late 60s or (more likely) early 70s.
Later, we used to spend summer vacations in a house overlooking Salt Creek Beach, south of Laguna and north of Dana Point. Once we got a little ways past Disneyland, it was all orange groves and strawberry fields, except for El Toro airbase. Then there was the turn off through the rolling hills, all owned by the Irvine Company. The hills were covered with brush and mustard. There were occasionally cows.
With regard to later street maps, I suggest you look for books of aerial photography over L.A. It’s almost like Google Maps. 😉
That would be before the Santa Ana Freeway.
@@musk4mars116 Yeah, no freeway then and I just remember the abundant fruit trees, the magical kingdom and the long drive home.
I truly enjoyed this video. I'm a lover of History and Maps. I am also a 42 year resident of Los Angeles. When I first arrived here with my family in 1980, there were still orange groves, tomato and strawberry fields and cattle ranches spread out over the entire basin and beyond. That's all gone now. Everyone used to have an orange tree or five in their yard. You could walk from my neighborhood in Irvine, all the way to the Pacific Coast Highway and there was the Ocean, still untouched for many miles in places. You could tell it wasn't going to last, but you could still taste the spirit of the Old West. It was a place where everyone was welcome and anything was possible. It was a wonderful place to be a young person. For that, I am very grateful.
Wherever you are, remember this... Everything in this world is temporary. Treasure the moment. Take nothing for granted. We all have our challenges. Consider the possibilities. You have been blessed with an opportunity to create a masterpiece. Imagine something incredible and make your dreams come true.
We are immortal. It's okay to fail. That's how we learn to succeed. Life is a game. Enjoy it. 🔥❤️😎
1980 Orange County was pretty built up, I've been in Costa Mesa since 1960
@@markme4Yes. Northern O.C. was already built up, but South O.C. was pretty chill until the late 80's. I used to walk from Christ College at the Top of Turtle Rock in Irvine, all the way to PCH. There was a huge Ranch that you'd never know was there. I saw coyotes and deer and mountain lions. It was nothing but fields with cows. That was in the 80's. The Orange Groves and fields of produce went from Anaheim Hills all the way to Mission Viejo. Its all high dollar neighborhoods now, but it wasn't back then. My neighborhood was brand new. Tustin Marine Base and El Toro we're surrounded by produce and citrus groves. We used to pull over on the PCH and walk down to the beach, from Corona Del Mar down to Laguna. Not anymore.
@@andrewwhite9739 Yes I remember, I worked all through the 80s on some of the first housing projects in Irvine, Mission Viejo, "Eltoro", Laguna Hills, I still do actually, now they are developing northern Mission Viejo, "Rancho Mission Viejo". Very beautiful area, they just couldn't leave it alone.
Thank you for sharing your story, I really enjoyed it
I miss that “old west” feel!
I remember when there was no city called Irvine. The area was Irvine Ranch. Just open agricultural land on the way to San Diego.
Thanks for posting this. 60 years ago, every year at Christmas time, our family would drive down to Pasadena from Portland Oregon, and stay at my grand-parents house on Hill Street. We had 4 sets of Aunts & Uncles and cousins who lived down there, so plenty of fun to be had. My grandfather had a Plymouth dealership on Colorado Blvd, and we would climb up on the roof and watch the Rose Parade. Years later, I attended UCLA. All of those places were on the map. Look forward to downloading more maps!
I have many fond memories as a kid traveling from Phoenix to LA in the fifties and sixties, it seemed like ShangriLa with the scent of orange blossoms everywhere.
Thank you very much for making this. It was fascinating to say the least. I truly appreciated your most thoughtful closing comments. God bless you and all involved.
Yes, that gun club on the map did feature Robert Stack and Clark Gable (plus Carole Lombard). My late father used to shoot skeet with all three of these Actors.
Ditto here! San Gabriel Valley Gun Club, Rancho Dominguez Gun Club, and the old San Pedro L.A.P. D. pistol range.
Great times.
@@m.loughlin1915 There was a police range up in the San Rafael Hills in Glendale that was only used on occasion. As kids we spent a lot of time hiking and following deer and coyote trails. When we found it, we started “borrowing” my friend’s dad’s rifles to go shooting up there (the friend had gone through some NRA youth training program, back when the NRA was about education). That lasted until one day a police helicopter appeared and we had to hide under some bushes for about an hour.
Not long after, my friend’s dad noticed his stock of ammo had mysteriously diminished. He slapped the shit out of him, and that ended the “borrowing”. (Even back then that was considered borderline abuse, but considering the seriousness of the infraction, no one was going to complain, not even my friend.) After that it was only air rifles. 😔 Then we discovered girls, got our learners’ permits, and found other forms of mischief. 😅
I still enjoy shooting but I don’t own a gun. It’s more of an occasional sport than a serious hobby.
The announcer does not mention this but the last map shown is called the Semi Tropic Homestead Map. Whats not explained is that the term Semi Tropic was a district or a neighborhood in the North East part of the city. It was located in the SilverLake Echo Park parts of town, mostly along Glendale Blvd. In matter of fact, today there is a bar on Glendale Blnd called the Semi Tropic room.
Thank You for this video.
Although I've seen most of those maps online on my own searches, it is great having them put together with narration.
I was born in Inglewood in 1965 and raised just a few blocks from Inglewood and Los Angeles border in Westchester with LAX a mile away.
I lived in Westchester, Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Beverlywood, Woodland Hills, and now South Westlake District of Downtown L.A. .
I love this city and the surrounding areas. The history is so amazing.
But honestly, I would have loved to have lived here back in the late 1800s early 1900s . It must have been absolutely paradise. Rivers, woodlands, the mountains surrounding the basin all the open space. The hunting and fishing were unbelievable back then.
My grand uncle who was born here around 1905 or so was an avid outdoorsman, he hiked mount Whitney, and knew all the local mountains very well. He told me that the skies would be blacked out with the number of geese and duck flying overhead and the other wildlife like bear, deer, fox, mountain lions, turkey, bobcat, all in abundance, the rivers and streams had trout, salmon, etc... and fruit orchards as far as your eyes could see.
I really must have been an amazing place because it still is a gorgeous place if you look through the buildings and traffic and use your imagination.
I am old enough to have seen when the Valleys were still a lot of farms and orchards, even in El Segundo and Westhester and the area where Hughes Helicopter Plant, now Playa Vista, Silicon Beach, and parts of Hawthorne and most of the mid and South Bay cities all had a few old farms that were just hanging on for dear life postponing the inevitable of selling parcels or the whole farm to some developer or aerospace company or the airport itself bought up most of the bean fields and even a lot of houses and expanded the airport.
Like? I need a heart option for this entire video! The maps are beautiful but the background music and the narration/guided tour make it. I had no idea that LA housed oil fields at all let alone so many. And your closing statement? Bravo. o7 Wonderfully done!
Fun fact, California sits on top of huge oil reserves but CA imports 56% of its oil from foreign countries. Another fun fact, all the oil tankers used to import oil create twice as much pollution than all the cars and trucks in CA because they use very low grade bunker oil as fuel. Which leads to a 3rd fun fact, as California shuts down its production of oil and gas production to "save the planet" it will create even greater amounts of pollution than if we just used our own oil.
@@sw8741 It figures.
Absolutely wonderful and a valuable resource to a city's past. Having lived in Los Angeles since 1952 it is a marvel to see the past so eloquently lain out. Thank you for this.
These maps are amazing. I wish I could get some prints of these to put up in my apartment. I grew up in Southern California and I love California history.
They can be downloaded from the Library of Congress for free!
This is so beautifully presented. I’m a L.A. native (from 1939) and spent the first half of my life living there. I’ve retreated to Northern California.
I’ve been in Mexico for a dozen years now, but I still consider L.A. my home. I was born in Glendale in 1964, lived most of my life in Northeast Los Angeles. I lived in San Francisco for five years in the 90s. That was a fun time. I’ve got a cousin that moved to the East Bay in the early 60s or late 70s-he was the hippy in the family.
How is Northern California?
52 years in LA. moving soon too.
@@mrwhiteinca Wasn't the snow wild? I was born in Redondo Beach, my mom & I rode the bus downtown to shop for Christmas in the 60's, I loved those trips.
Really enjoyed this video. I love pouring over old maps, recalling old landmarks and seeing how we've changed.
Fantastic video. Great narration. My only wish is that you’d circled or spotlit some of the places you mentioned because they weren’t always easy to see amidst the detail.
This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for uploading it and putting all the work into creating this video. I agree with some of the other comments too; it was very relaxing. As a lover of both history & geography, I love this kind of content, but I also agree with everything you said in the ending narration about the significance of these maps and the development they represent on a human level.
God I wish I could see that area and the valley back then, all that pristine nature, weather was more perfect that it already Is
What a gift. I’ve been in Southern California since 1978. We come to accept what the vast area is today as ac”given”, without much thought of the past. Your beautiful narration and the maps selected show how much thought and energy went into the area’s dramatic growth. A wonderful journey. Thank you!
I think you qualify as a “native” Californian, even if you weren’t born here. 😉 The first member of my family (on my mom’s side) arrived in Los Angeles in 1900. Some of my father’s uncles and aunts came from Cleveland in the 1920s, but he didn’t move out here until after WWII (and went to UCLA for undergrad and USC for law school).
But we all came from somewhere else, from all over the world, looking for possibilities and opportunities. I hope that So Cal has treated you well and that you have found more contentment than discontent, my brother Californian.
Not a gift at all they banned natives from California when they literally lived there since for ever and even paid millions of dollars for people to kill them so they can take the land over, there already was many ancient sites and city’s but they blew everything up for gold there drive for gold made them do insane stuff mass killing blowing up all of the natives stuff cause the explorers thought natives couldn’t have been advanced enough to build such stuff PURE EVIL CALIFORNIA
This is one of the best videos ive seen in a long time on YT. Thank you.
Wow, this was so awesome. I'm an Angelino born and raised. I had to share this video with my family and my friends, who I grew up with. I didn't know that my street was originally named Freeman St- found out on LA 1896 map..thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done.
Born in Long Beach, lived in Orange County, and worked at Disneyland.
I've always been interested in old map and all I get is melancholy when I see that they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
My parents rode the last Pacific Electric train from Long Beach to downtown LA in 1961. By that time the sprawl was out of control. It's only gotten worse since I left in 1994 for San Francisco.
I've left California for NYC seven years ago because I was tired of traffic and never want to own a car again in my life.
eh, too bad, maybe you dont like it but sprawl is someone elses memories now, its here to stay but we should stop its further construction but preexisting sprawl should be retrofitted and preserved instead of demolish it
Y worked for a pedo company? Or do u pretend its not?
I live in the Century City area of Los Angeles; which was developed from the old back lot of Fox Studios. I got rid of my car 6 years ago and have not ever regretted it. The transportation options in LA today, including Metro, are wide and varied and the city is so much more incredible when experienced at street level and on foot!
Being from the UK it always blows my mind seeing things about the history of the USA as it’s all so recent. My house is older than most of the US and it’s hard to get my head around!
You can't get your head around it BECASSUSE you are a meathead
@@xChromerSatanasx thanks for ur valuable input
I know, my house was built in 1961 and it's OLD. Some friends in Manchester have a house older than the USA itself. lol
Awesome video! Very informative but soothing at the same time. Great work!
I read in an old LA history book that Azusa was devised by the developer of the subdivision and means it has everything from “A” to “Z” in the “USA.”
Didn't you hear him mention that?
@@DadgeCity it’s been a while, but as I recall, they said something else about it.
@@DoubleMrE It’s more likely that the name came from the Indian name for the place, but that wasn’t going to sell plots of land back then.
Fascinating! I thoroughly enjoyed this. New subbie!
12:46 -- Saint Vibiana's was damaged in 1994 earthquake, but the plan to tear it down was prevented. The then Archbishop felt strongly that the much larger city needed a much larger cathedral which could hold 3,000 people. The larger Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was built nearby, not on the same site. The buildings of Saint Vibiana's were saved and repurposed. The old church is an event space and the rectory is a restaurant.
Fascinating and informative ,well done.
Wow, thank you for a wonderful 40 minutes.
love Southern California history. This was really interesting.
Great tour of the old maps along with the history. My how we’ve changed!
18:31. That strange blur is just smoke blowing over from the smokestack to the left. Thanks for presenting these gorgeous maps! Subscribed
Encore! You’ve produced the only images existing that can match my dreams of how it was. I can’t wait to share!
These maps illustrate incredible precision in urban layout. Nothing hap-hazard here. Really makes you wonder just what the true history is.
Loved watching every second!
Excellent video! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I found your video very interesting thank you for sharing
Excellent format!
31:22 The pleasure fishing barge was just what it said. an old vessel anchored a couple miles offshore that one could pay to fish off of. since it was in deep water, the fishing was better than off the beach or a pier, and you didn't need your own boat to get there. you paid you day fee and there was a water taxi from the harbors and piers that would take you out and they moved the barge periodically to good fishing spots. these were usually old retired commercial vessels such a ferries or freight lighters that were purchased for a song and converted for the use as recreational fishing locations. There used to be lots of them along the california coast from malibu down to san diego.
This is such a lovely, peaceful video. I would have loved to see LA way back when.
I would love to see one of these for the phoenix area. Phx isn't as big as LA or New York but it grew so fast just in one century As a life long resident I think it would be cool to see how it spread.
grew up in azusa in the 60s until 2018 it was great to see how much research you have done.
good job.
great video made my day
Fun video, thanks!
Thank you! Grew up in Torrance/Redondo/Palos Verdes 1966 and left 1987, remember the oil derricks, Catalina map, Edison Company, etc.!!
Wonderful video! Thank you
Absolutely beautiful. THANK YOU!
Very pleasant - informative and enjoyable. I lived on N-Cherokee Av. in 1980 and remember Hollywood and LA from that time.
I’m from Massachusetts and I needed this… the end of the video definitely encourages me to keep making a life here for myself.
What an extraordinary collection of art quality maps. Thank you for your excellent video. I've been a map buff all my life and grew up in a real estate development family. We lived in LA's Mid-Wilshire District. I greatly appreciate the technical and artistic aspects of these maps. Imagine the hours it took to do the research and create the drawings. People today are used to what can be done with computers. But those historical maps were all hand drawn and carefully researched.
Great video
Absolutely wonderful half hour! I'm a native Angeleno and have never seen any of these maps. Thanks for sharing them--and pointing out their interesting aspects. The narration was also very well done! I recall driving with my grandparents in the 1960s along the old Baseline Road from LA to San Bernardino. We kids loved it, because the roadway had sudden bumps-- up and down like an amusement park ride. The hour-long drive was surrounded by nothing but bean fields and orchards. I'm sure now it's completely developed.
I love your channel!✳️
the music and the slow pace of your presentation!
My grandparents settled there in the 20s30s, no wonder they would never leave! But I left in the early 70s. The SanFernando valley wasn't shown here, but that's where my dad bought his first house for 15k$. I remember the orange groves everywhere, gone now. They shouldn't a crowded it up so much, but thats mankind for ya!
Well done...I can't lie, I got a little choked up at the end.
My grandmother used to take the street car from Figueroa to her parents beach house at San Pedro. Her mother worked at USC my grandmother was born at LACO Hospital in 1916.
The Los Angeles metro area grew so fast because of the near perfect year round weather.
Thanks for posting this. It’s fascinating. I’ve a mind to go look up some of these maps.
A funny thing about the “Wonder City” map around the 31:30 mark. Some of the blocks look like little landscapes with mountains and even sky in the background. The map itself is very geographically inaccurate in some places, but I like it best. Maybe it’s the flavor or mood.
This is super amazing.
Delightful, Thank you.
Great positive message for the end of the video!
It's remarkable how much agriculture is apparent on those maps. And not just regular crops but lots of orchards, plus they weren't just oranges.
What a beautiful video
I love ths!! Thanks very much!!
Beautiful old maps.
Man, what a fantastic video ! The work, research and presentation were all Excellent... LOVED these maps !!
I actually work in development for the local government covering the Birmingham, Alabama metro area.
... population, about 1.2 Million as of 2022. (Haha. No comparison)
- To see how fast L.A. grew in population and geographic area is mind-blowing.
I would love to see one of these for Chicago. amazing content
Used to live in Azusa. Always wondered how far back our "A-Z" slogan went back and it went back quite a ways! Sleepy little area that can be easily passed by getting to LA. But it's got its history and it makes me proud to have grown up in Azusa.
I grew up in Azusa also. Nice little town back then.
33:30 I love the cursive used on this map. It's clear that this is labeled by hand.
That was exceptionally well done! I loved it. The only thing I kept hoping to see was the Chavez Ravine area that eventually became Dodger Stadium. One other suggestion: How about links to the maps themselves?
Go to Elysian Park . Allot of the surrounding neighborhoods look 👀 the same or have homes and townhouses older than Dodger stadium 🏟. Only major difference is the 110 freeway 🛣/ Dodger Stadium
Really? He told you where to get them. 😢

🌿🧠🌿Super enjoyable Thanks, just discovered how I really like maps! The artist one by Edison was my favorite visually.🌿Your Oldest Footage was my 1st video. I viewed and shared this this video it' Amazing!🧠🌿Will share this new one🌿Looking forward to watching and sharing, and Discovering more🌿😊🌿👑🌿GOD BLESS🌿
Excellent narration. Geo Geek here!
Some of those maps were made later than their timeframes. There was no Salton Sea until around 1905 when an irrigation accident caused it to form.
Hi there how are u OK mate keep up the good work on here am going too paly all of are videos on here
Very good presentation. Can you do a video of the early LA cemeteries and their histories?
The 1932 map in this video shows the Inglewood "Cementery."
Very well made! As others I am also interested to know what music you used? could you mention it?
One word: *EXPONENTIAL*
idiot
Amazing
All that land!!! So beautiful, man to be around those days.
It is quite amazing how these places grew, but... very painful to me to think about all the people that were there and things like the air, water, and land were once clean and healthy places to live. For everything they offer, they were better before, the modernization has not been good for many. I think that almost everywhere I go in USA.... I am glad all the Indigenous people have not disappeared and there are still places where the environment is clean.
The Cathedral of Saint Vibiana at 214 South Main Street is still standing; the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is at 555 West Temple. Now the event space Vibiano, the old cathedral has hosted post-Emmy parties and was used for 4 episodes of American Idol in 2016. The Hamburger Building is still standing too; one of the early chiropractic colleges in Los Angeles, Ratledge, which later became Cleveland Chiro on Vermont, was located in the building. The 1909 LA map shows the LA Pacific Railroad building - where their "Balloon Route Trolley" started at 439 South Hill Street just south of Angel's Flight. That building opened in April 1908 and was destroyed by fire in November 1908. The site was the location of several health colleges- osteopathic, chiropractic, and medical - until the 1950s.
I was born in Glendale and grew up in the Silverlake. I am Los Angeles. Thanks for posting this Video it made my day.
Interesting.... I was born in Silverlake (temple hospital 1962) and grew up in Glendale
@@donndebaun3321 Remeber "CHICO"S TACOS"? in the old 30's era gas station across from the sav-on on Glendale bvld, Marshall High and the ABC studios. oh how I miss it.
I was born in LA, lived on Hobart Street with those tall Palm trees on a wide street took the streetcar to Mt Vernon Junior High, 1956. Really enjoyed these maps to see how my big city developed and how all the ranches disappeared
The Cathedral of Saint Vibiana is actually still there but no longer a place of worship. It was almost lost/destroyed by the archdiocese but preservationist ultimately won. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angeles was built on an existing empty lot next to the 101 freeway.
Great local history video. They are simple maps but they are full of information and history. The pleasure barge was a of shore Gambling Casino. Gambling was illegal except for three miles offshore.
Have to go a hundred years back, plus some, just to find when LA was good to live in
this is bomb i love old los angeles,ny boston but mostly los angeles I think. Discovered many of these maps
I didn’t quite get the list of cities you had maps for. Was is Anaheim, Azusa and Cuuuucamonga?
The speed at which the USA developed, to me, is one of the most fascinating things in history. It just blows my mind, I can't quite wrap my head around it
I believe the “pleasure fishing barge” was an early casino. Which was outlawed about this time.
I am utterly fascinated by the expansion even since perhaps the 50s
The 50s is when developers started building tract housing in Los Angeles
A map cannot show “how,” only “that.”
Wow I really enjoyed this video thank you very much I never seen old maps of Los Angeles I was born and raised here and it's amazing to see the orange Grove everywhere my favorite part of the video is when I seen my location are family bakery been there since 1984 when I seen the map was very happy to see that
Can you make a video on the history of west LA and Santa Monica. There isn't too many maps on it.
I grew up on Rancho Los Palos Verdes. I rode my dirtbike all over the hill in the 1970's. Best time to grow up on the hill.
Same here but mostly on the Walteria side, we also shot guns up in PV and nobody called the cops ---- well that was more in the early 60's
@@jetsons101 I rode my enduro bike in that pit where Hawthorne and Via Valmonte split. The old Gypsum quarry.
@@Erik-gg2vb We did the same thing with our enduros. When my kids were younger, we would take our old WWII jeep in there, fun times. While in high school, a friend and I climbed up the center of the cliff face on a drizzly day, boy were we dumb. Now I take my grandkid hiking there. Have a great day, back to work for me........
I am almost positive that the pleasure ship was the Gambling ship that was just outside the 3 mile limit that let them have booze and pretty much anything goes .
now its a 200 mile limit . LOL
I was born in Hollywood in 1951..
but lookin to escape ....sooooon
wow? it's really interesting how this city changed, i'll see you in april LA!
My great great great grandfather William Heap was one of the original settlers of the San Bernardino Valley!
Downtown LA is still fairly rural.
You can see lots of people camping there.
Seems like everybody was on board to make a full-blown city the weather/climate perfect setup
7:32 "Ball Park" where the Chicago Cubs use to have Spring Training.
That W the cubs fly is named after Wilmington indirectly
"Well, Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga".
We actually pronounce San Pedro as "San Pee-dro". *Shrugs*
Not in Long Beach, we don't.
And Los Feliz is “Fee-Liz”. I’m fluent in Spanish, but a place name is a place name. Although sometimes to be funny I will call Glendale, “Glendalé”.
