1952 Map of Blossom

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Blossom sits at the junction of several drainage systems in this northern California landscape, where the seasonal flows of Liza Creek and Reeds Creek converge. The topography is defined by the broad expanse of Burr Valley to the south and a complex network of ridges to the north, including the high ground at Montgomery Lookout. This 1950s survey, updated with late-1960s photogrammetry, reveals a rural economy based on water management and ranching, evidenced by scattered reservoirs, a Windmill, and a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails. To the north, the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek marks the boundary of a terrain carved by numerous tributaries like Hooker Creek and North Fork Dibble Creek. The map documents the physical infrastructure of the era, such as a major Pipeline cutting through the northwest and numerous benchmark locations that established the precise elevation of this interior valley region.
