Zooming in on Echo Park: Early 1900s Los Angeles maps
Automobile Club of Southern California
It’s always interesting to find some historical pieces of Los Angeles on the big Internet, this one comes from Big Map Blog. It’s a 1915 road map of the entire Southern California area, commissioned by the Automobile Club of Southern California. And it’s a pretty big map – so we’ve zoomed in on the Echo Park area to show you our little area almost 100 years ago. Funny thing is, if you compare this map with a current-day Google map, it doesn’t look a whole lot different. But the landscape sure is: what was once a bunch of fields and open space now is one of the city’s most populated areas.
Another interesting map from the same blog – credited to Birdseye View Pub. Co.’s – of the Los Angeles area circa 1909. Incredible detail on this one – here’s the zoomed in version on Echo Park below:
Birdseye View Pub. Co.'s birdseye map of Los Angeles, California in 1909.
Both very, very large maps are made available for download on the Big Map Blog. See if you can find your house!

Hmmm… it appears your site ate my first comment (it was very long)… so I’d better keep this second attempt brief. Essentially, I was just saying that I really enjoy this website. Let’s see if this brief comment gets published, or does your site eat all comments?
After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a way you are able to remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!
