Great map, gs--the first few houses in Berkeley Square would have been going up in 1906. It's interesting here that BS isn't depicted as open to Hermosa/Gramercy, and that Adams Place (now St. Andrews) seems to be depicted as an entrance to the south. Actually, though, the Berkeley name is shown here in alignment with 24th Street rather than in line with 22nd ("21st" on this map). The parts showing the outskirts of L.A. on alot of these early maps were done as sort of speculation in terms of street layout and naming--perhaps based on early info from the developer, or just guesswork.
