1949 Map of Alder Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Hunter Liggett Military Reservation dominates the landscape of this 1949 survey, where military utility and conservation boundaries intersect along the Santa Lucia Range. The terrain is defined by the canyon systems of the Nacimiento River and Stony Creek, with the rugged topography culminating at Alder Peak. This era shows the land in transition, with established agricultural outposts like the San Miguelito Ranch situated near an Observation Post and the San Miguelito Loop Road. The map provides a detailed view of the Los Padres National Forest boundary, charting remote water sources such as Sycamore Spr and Basket Spr that were vital for both forestry and early ranching. A notable Telephone Line cuts across the northern canyons, marking the sparse infrastructure of this Monterey County backcountry.
