Combs, Leslie Gustav
Leslie Gustav Combs (c. 1891 - 1976) was a draughtsman and cartographer based in Los Angeles, California. Born in Mexico City to an American father and Australian mother, he moved as a child to the United States. Nothing is known of his training and little of his career. A 1920 census lists him as a laborer, but the 1930 census notes him as a draughtsman working for the Los Angeles Fire Department. His cartographic output appears to have been minimal, and subsequent directories and census documents indicate that he took on a variety of professions during his life.
