A Traveler's Guide to la Loma's Streets

6/30/2015

If you've ever been confused — as I have — about the names and locations of the streets in the Chávez Ravine communities of la Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop, then you may appreciate this visual guide to the streets of la Loma.

This blog is the first in a series that explores the streets of Chávez Ravine and places them on a map for reference.  In this case, the map is a 1948 aerial photograph, so it reflects the locations of the streets very accurately with respect to the beginning of the destruction of Chávez Ravine in 1950.

This blog focuses on la Loma.

    About the Author

    Lawrence Bouett is a retired research scientist and registered professional engineer who now conducts historical and genealogical research full-time.  A ninth-generation Californian, he is particularly interested in the displacement of the nearly 1,100 families that lived in the Chavez Ravine communities of la Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop to make way, ultimately, for the construction of Dodger Stadium.  His ancestors arrived in California with Portolá in 1769 and came to Los Angeles with the founders on September 4, 1781.

"Thank you for such an informative site which highlights the plight of those relocated from Chavez Ravine.   My stepfather was a happy child growing up in the Palo Verde area.  He had many stories about living in the area and working at the [Ayala] store."

"Wow that is awesome thank you"

"
Dodger Stadium will always be a monument to the displacement of three entire communities"
