Aerial coastline view of the Rancho Malibu la Costa development area, Malibu, circa 1927

Description:
Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit was a 13,316-acre Spanish land grant given by Spanish Governor José Joaquín de Arrillaga in 1804 to José Bartolomé Tapia. In 1892 Frederick Hastings Rindge and May Knight Rindge, purchased the rancho. In 1926, the Marblehead Land Company, formed by May Knight Rindge, made a $6 million deal with Harold G. Ferguson to develop the La Costa area (between Las Flores Canyon and Carbon Canyon), but that deal fell apart when Ferguson was sentenced to jail for securities fraud in 1931. Ferguson laid out the development with street names as they remain today: Rambla Vista, Paseo Serra, etc. It took until the mid 1930's for development of the area to begin in earnest.

Aerial view of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Lake, [1935?]

Description:
Possibly related to the article “Big Bear Lake is Gem Crowning Mountain Top, Nature’s Charms Allure in Region Visited by Scout Party, Years Bring Many Improvements.” Los Angeles Times, 26 May 1935.

Smooth pavement all the way from First and Broadway to the village of Pine Knot seemed almost incredible, but it is there, for the State has spent $1,500,000 building this de luxe roadway, and reducing the grade, which had run as high as 16 per cent, to a maximum of 4 per cent, creating one of the most ideal mountain roads in the world. …"

Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide. The landslide started near the top of Buena Vista Peak as a small crack in the earth. The crack began separating at a rate of about half an inch every 24 hours, then became a meandering zig-zag, and finally a landslide on November 26, 1937. During the landslide 1,500,000 tons of loose rock and dirt tumbled down the hill and onto a 600 foot stretch of Riverside Drive. The disaster caused rerouting of traffic and attracted thousands of spectators. Because the initial crack was identified early, damage and injuries were largely avoided
