That is beautiful, as a new resident to DTLA, these are even more amazing to see how much care there was for the City.
Thanks, la mapnerd. My great grandparents were Pomona business owners at the turn of the century and I’ve always wanted to see where their electric shop was relative to the rest of town. I had no idea where to find a period map.
I love this map. :-)
BTW, American Memory at the Library of Congress has this and many other panoramic maps in hi-res zoomable JPEG2000 format. The Panoramic Maps 1847-1929 Collection is fabulous. There are 52 maps for California, including 8 or so of LA, plus Pasadena, Santa Monica, San Pedro, San Gabriel, and Pomona.
They can be viewed online in a (rather primitive) map browser interface, or you can download the whole file to view offline. For offline viewing, if you don’t already have a paint program or photo editor that can handle .jp2 files, there are free viewers and plugins for PC and Mac – see the LOC’s How to View page for some suggestions.
