This detailed chart extends from Malaga Cove east to Alamitos Bay and shows the street grid pattern of San Pedro and Long Beach and the rugged topography of the coastline. Includes excellent detail of the harbor area locating docks, channels, storage tanks, railroads, and more. The surrounding waters are filled with soundings, bottom types, "cable areas," and large compass with magnetic variation. Stamp on verso indicates it was "corrected through Oct 22 32." There are no previous sales records and OCLC shows only two locations (Stanford and Huntington).
