Reference 1: Baist 1921. Plate 3

Reference 2: 1902 Reuger, 1894 Sanborn

Reference 3: 1928 Hill

Notes: Routing at eastern end changed with 101 freeway or even earlier. In 1921 ends at Aliso / Brooklyn Intersection. But the block near Brooklyn is labeled Bridge. 1908 Hamlin had Macy continuing east of Pleasant, but 1908 Wood as Brooklyn. Doesn't see to be much agreement on what the Macy St / Pleasant intersection looked like

Street List

If no map shows up when you choose a map, the map may not cover that region, so try another map. A little buggy yet to say the least. To compare contemporary a map to an old map, the Overlays have to be toggled on and off.

Between ~1902 and ~1928, Macy St became E Cesar Chavez Ave
