1949 Map of Bear Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Hunter Liggett Military Reservation dominates this 1949 landscape in Monterey County, illustrating the extensive overlap between federal military lands and the Los Padres National Forest. The topography is defined by the winding course of the San Antonio River and its various tributaries, including Milpitas Creek and Pinalito Creek. These waterways carve through a complex terrain of named canyons and gulches, such as Bear Canyon, China Gulch, and Wizard Gulch. Transport through this transitional zone is primarily facilitated by Del Venturi Road and a long-standing Telephone Line. The southern portion of the sheet features the San Miguelito area, showcasing a landscape largely preserved from major residential development due to its status as part of the military reservation and national forest system.
