Description
Shows streets and prospective electric streetcar lines in red and black. Probably dates before 1903 as the rail lines are not named. Legend gives weights of rails laid. Covers the city of Los Angeles with the Los Angeles Country Club to the West, Slauson Ave. to the South, the Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights to the East, and Elysian Park to the North. "H.E.H." are the initials of Henry E. Huntington, who owned the Pacific Electric Railway Company. Scale statement on map reads "1320 feet to one inch." Coordinates not present on map, approximated from Google maps. Relief given in hachures. Provenance unknown, in library as of 2017. Appears to have come from the office of one of Henry E. Huntington's railway companies.
