Notes

The countryside around the nation's second-ranking conurbation is a melange of physical settings and kinds of occupance undergoing widespread but erratic rural-to-urban metamorphosis. A neglected aspect, but one promising better understanding, of the oft-bewildering Los Angeles hinterland is its framework of property ownership, a sometimes influential ingredient of both rural settlement and emergent urbanization. Pursuing this prospect, the present article offers an exploratory picture of large private rural properties adjacent to Los Angeles, suggesting avenues of more intensive investigation and providing data for comparison with other circum-metropolitan areas. Due to the breadth of its subject, the study is arbitrarily confined to landholdings having a continuous extent of at least two square miles and situated within seventy miles of the Los Angeles civic center. Such properties were identified from public tax assessment records in summer 1964, and the accompanying account stressing ownership and utilization was subsequently compiled from a variety of sources.
