1968 Map of Bickmore Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone creates a striking diagonal corridor through this terrain, shaping the course of the San Benito River and the narrow valley floors. Near the confluence of the river and Willow Creek, a small pioneer burial ground at Willow Creek Cem and the Melendy Ranch mark the long-standing agricultural presence in the canyon. To the south, the dramatic geologic formations of Pinnacles National Monument dominate the landscape, including the jagged Balconies and the descent into Bear Valley. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the late 1960s, documenting local landmarks like the Bear Valley Fire Control Sta and a remote Landing Strip, alongside family holdings such as the Schmidt Ranch and Butts Ranch.
