Antique El Monte, California 1926 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Los Angeles, San Marino, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Monterey Park, CA

Beautiful, antique map of El Monte, California and surrounding Los Angeles County area. This is an authentic 1926 edition, 1932 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what California looked like about 100 years ago, before modern development. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1926, printed 1932

Dimensions: 17" width x 20 1/2" height
