1906 Los Angeles Railways Map
In 1906 Los Angeles ran on rails. The Pacific Electric interurbans and the Los Angeles Railway streetcars stitched together a city that was still mostly orange groves and open land. This map preserves that network as contemporaries saw it, before the automobile rewrote Southern California.
Map Shop produces this as a reproduction, not an original sheet. The 1906 original is scanned at high resolution and digitally restored to clear defects, then printed fresh, so the linework and lettering stay legible on a wall rather than fading into foxing and creases.
- Digitally restored print made from a high-resolution scan of the 1906 original
- Standard printing on premium 36lb paper, with waterproof stock available
- Laminated finishes use 1.7mil satin-gloss film front and back, wet-erase friendly
- Mounted option laminates the print to 1/4 inch foam core, ready for map pins
- Black or walnut wood rails and framing available, assembled to order
A natural fit for rail historians, LA history enthusiasts, transit planning offices, and law firm or agency lobbies looking for local character.
