This is a map plotting the journeys of 3 individuals emigrating from eastern Europe to New York USA, circa 1905. It is one of 5 maps commissioned by the Labor Studies Department at the University of California-Los Angeles for a book project about the Yiddish-speaking Jewish diaspora in early 1900s Los Angeles. The maps required intensive historical research into the roadways, railways and parks of downtown LA, from 1900 to 1930.
