1966 Map of Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bear Mountain dominates this portion of the Tehachapi range during the mid-1960s, overlooking the transition from the steep canyons of El Tejon to the high basin of Bear Valley. The landscape is defined by its water management and infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Water Tanks and a system of Pipelines traversing the slopes. Small mountain flats like Horsethief Flat and Oak Flat serve as landmarks amidst a network of Jeep Trails and larger arteries like Bear Mtn Blvd. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Sycamore Canyon and Little Sycamore Canyon, while seasonal water sources like Rock Spring and Clear Creek provide vital points of interest in this arid high-elevation environment. This survey captures the area just before significant modern development, documenting the ranching and utility corridors of the era.
