Covina's Old Neighbors

If you lived in Covina around the turn of the last century, this is the map and the place names you'd be familiar with. Localities tagged with an *asterisk are on the original topo sheet below. Those added in red didn't make the cut at the time, but are now considered historically relevant. (The principal cities of today, of course, should not require description.)
