1966 Map of Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

El Tejon ranch lands define this portion of the Tehachapi Mountains in the mid-1960s, a landscape marked by steep drainages and high plateaus. The topography is dominated by the massive bulk of Bear Mountain and the descent into Sycamore Canyon and Little Sycamore Canyon. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is clear through the network of Pipelines cutting across the southern sections near Bear Valley, alongside a primitive network of Jeep Trails and ranch roads like Bear Valley Road. Small, remote outposts such as Mart and Oak Flat appear as quiet landmarks in a terrain characterized by sparse water sources like Rock Spring and Clear Creek. The inclusion of specific local markers like Black Oak and Horsethief Flat provides a localized record of the interior mountain ranching culture before more modern development reached these higher elevations.
