Writing this post before dinner is a serious mistake, some of Mrs. Knott’s Southern Fried Chicken sounds so delicious it’s tempting to drive on down there and get some! I’ll take a few scoops of Boysenberry Sherbet too!
Even though this map is almost unrecognizable when compared to the today’s twisted mass of concrete (link) I could actually use it to get to the farm, from the upper left: Ventura Blvd. east to the Hollywood Freeway (101) to the Santa Ana Freeway (101, now the "5"), exit Highway 39, turn right, two miles and your there, I can smell the Eucalyptus trees now...

You made me curious about "Los Angeles Street". I found this 1930 map:

This photo shows a flood on Los Angeles Street and annotates it to indicate that it is now called Anaheim Blvd.

I did not know that if you looked at Knott's from a satellite, it would resemble a pencil seen in cross section.
