1932 Map of Bena

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Caliente Creek and Walker Basin Creek carve deep courses through the foothills of the El Tejon range in this Kern County study based on 1929 topography. The settlement of Bena serves as a critical focal point where the Southern Pacific railroad and the Tehachapi Highway converge, following the natural contours of the drainage. This map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where engineering and transportation routes were strictly dictated by the steep terrain of the canyon floors. The presence of the railroad and highway highlights the area's importance as a transit corridor connecting the San Joaquin Valley with higher mountain passes to the east.
