"Map Showing Wells, Artesian Areas, and Water Levels in the Redondo Quadrangle," by the U. S. Geological Survey, 1904. The map shows an area from the Ballona wetlands to Palos Verdes on the west to South-Central Los Angeles and Wilmington on the east and from Inglewood on the north to the San Pedro Harbor 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, a crease at the top of a fold in the upper left, and slight paper yellowing, the condition is good.Lexicon
