1933 Map of Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

El Tejon dominates the western portion of this 1930s topographical study, where the abrupt rise of the mountains meets the valley floor. The map captures a transitional landscape defined by steep contour intervals and deep drainage systems like Sycamore Canyon. This particular sheet is a detailed sub-section focusing on the high-relief terrain of Bear Mountain, providing a closer look at the topography than the older, smaller-scale regional surveys mentioned in the center-field notation. A single primary artery, Bear Mountain Boulevard, winds through the elevation, serving as a critical link between the San Joaquin Valley and the heights of the Tehachapi range. The annotations for distances to Bakersfield, Arvin, and Tehachapi emphasize the area's role as a mountain pass corridor during the early decades of California's highway development.
