The Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission was formed in 1922 to advise the Board of Supervisors on all planning

Scope and Content
This collection contains 2 x 2 in. color slides of various land-use
maps
dating from the late 1920s to the 1960s for areas in Los Angeles County, California, that were created and used by the Los
Angeles Regional Planning Commission.
The slides depict paper
maps
that were photographed by the Commission in segments (identified as "detail" slides), and as a whole (identified as an "index"
slide).
The
maps
are colored to reflect different classifications of land uses such as open land, farming, residence, commerce, industry,
utility, institution, and recreation.

Arrangement
The envelopes are arranged alphabetically according to the name of geographic region listed on the envelope. Because the alphabetizing
reflects the name as it is written on the envelope some locations
may be organized according to a geographic direction (such as East Pasadena under "E" or North Claremont under "N").
