The Los Angeles County Photo Collection

The WRI is an outreach partnership between CSUSB and the Southern California communities we serve, driven by the vision that sustaining water resources rests on sound research, analysis and public policy collaboration. The Historical Aerial Photo Collection is comprised of images of Southern California beginning in the 1920's. The geographic areas include much of Southern California from deserts to the Pacific Ocean. The images in these flights are from the Joseph Andrew Rowe Water Resources Archives and represent various collections that are held by the Archives.

This group of Aerial Photos covers areas of Los Angeles County, including the City of Bel Air, the Los Angeles River and the Santa Gabriel watershed are shown in these flights.
