Manuscripts
The collection consists of 88 large rolled maps drawn chiefly by Félix Violé; the maps are of Los Angeles city, county, and surrounding areas. There are 10 brown line prints but the majority of the maps are in black ink on tracing cloth; these maps were probably the masters on which his published maps were based. The collection also includes maps drawn by Homer Hamlin, T. G. Koeberle, and Fernand Rouseyrol.
