    Hi Michael,

    I have helped this patron. I could not find a current map of L.A. county
    which shows the boundaries of Spanish ranchos in either print or
    digital. Please let me know if you found any.

    Thanks,
    Fatemah

There were several maps published pre-1960 of the ranchos (most prior to 1940), and more recent ones (like in Los Angeles: A to Z) which show the boundaries but nothing else. Anyone ever see anything like this? A shape file of California or Los Angeles ranchos would work, too.
