1929 Map of Bena

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Southern Pacific rail line and the Tehachapi Highway dominate the narrow valley floor at Bena, following a natural transportation corridor through the southern California interior. Surveyed by S.N. Stoner, this map records the rugged contours of El Tejon and the convergence of Caliente Creek and Walker Basin Creek. The topography reveals the steep, folded landforms that constrained early 20th-century travel and infrastructure, illustrating the path taken by the railroad as it navigated the difficult ascent toward the mountains east of the San Joaquin Valley.
