"Map of Irrigated Lands, Pumping Plants, and Distributing Systems in the Santa Monica Quadrangle," by the U. S. Geological Survey, 1904. The map shows an area from Santa Monica on the west to downtown Los Angeles on the east and from the Santa Monica Mountains on the north to south Los Angeles and the Baldwin Hills on the south. Features as cities and towns, historic rancho names, rivers and lakes, mountain and hill ranges, and other physical indicators are given. But, the subject of the map are areas in shades of green indicating regular and sewage irrigated lands, as well as irrigation ditches (in green lines) and pumping plants in red circular marks. At the bottom is the title and scales in miles and kilometers. Other than the original folds and slight paper yellowing, the condition is good.
