If you love maps like we do, check out the new exhibit of mostly historical Los Angeles maps in the first-floor gallery at the Los Angeles Public Library. Included is this one from Kirkman-Harriman, showing the location of native settlements and other historical notes, given to the library in 1938. There are 32 maps covering 1849 to 1956, many of them from map librarian Glen Creason's new book, Los Angeles in Maps.

Also: San Marino's Old Mill as it may have looked.
