Color: Black; Brown; Gray; White
"Map Showing Wells, Artesian Areas, and Water Levels in the Downey and Las Bolsas Quadrangles," by the U. S. Geological Survey, 1904. The map shows an area from South-Central Los Angeles and west of Long Beach on the west to the Puente Hills and southwestern Orange County on the east and from Montebello and City of Commerce area on the north to the Pacific Ocean 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 gray indicating original and current (as of 1904) artesian areas, as well as blue lines indicating "hydrographic contours;" and numerically-indicated areas for artesian and domestic water wells and pumping plants. Well numbers are in black, while water elevations are in purple. 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.
