Description
Collection of maps and business records of Los Angeles area surveyors Alfred Solano, Sidney B. Reeve, and George Hansen.
Background
In 1875 Alfred Solano became associated with surveyor George Hansen (1824-1897), assisting him in the making of surveys of
various tracts in Los Angeles County and in other parts of Southern California. Hansen served as Los Angeles city surveyor
from 1863 to 1868, and in 1883. After Hansen's death in 1897, his records were left to Solano, who became a partner of Sidney
B. Reeve, also a surveyor, with an office in Los Angeles.
