Survey & Deed Provenance · Los Angeles County (1920s)

Surveying and Subdividing Los Angeles Basin Interurban & Utility Extension Cor in Los Angeles County

When Western Extension Company (led by Los Angeles Railway / Utility Corridor Group) executed its Los Angeles County conveyances anchored at OR Book 3931, Page 268 (1925) & OR Book 10281, Page 368 (1930-10-02), each instrument tied its metes-and-bounds calls directly to Los Angeles Basin Interurban & Utility Extension Corridors (LA County Surveyor Abstracts 7288433 & 7288482). In the Whittier Hills, Puente Hills, and Los Angeles Basin, those survey ties and subdivision calls remain the controlling reference for modern parcel boundaries and abstract examinations.

“Anchored in the official records of Los Angeles County (CA) at OR Book 3931, Page 268 (1925) & OR Book 10281, Page 368 (1930-10-02), covering Los Angeles Basin Interurban & Utility Extension Corridors (LA County Surveyor Abstracts 7288433 & 7288482).”

Title & Reservation Analysis · Los Angeles County (CA)

Why Western Extension Company's 1920s Reservations Control Modern Los Angeles County Title

Title examiners and division order analysts working the Whittier Hills, Puente Hills, and Los Angeles Basin encounter Western Extension Company whenever a unit or right-of-way crosses Los Angeles Basin Interurban & Utility Extension Corridors (LA County Surveyor Abstracts 7288433 & 7288482). Because the deeds at OR Book 3931, Page 268 (1925) & OR Book 10281, Page 368 (1930-10-02) retained Linear streetcar, electric transmission pole, and underground conduit easements in gross across metropolitan Los Angeles corridors, verifying the historical corporate chain of Western Extension Company (1920s) is an essential step in Los Angeles County curative and title review.
