1972 Map of Breckenridge Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Sequoia National Forest lands dominate the high-elevation terrain of this Kern County survey, where the peaks of Red Mountain and the Breckenridge range give way to the pastoral expanse of Walker Basin. The landscape is a transition from timbered ridges and mountain meadows like Munzer Meadow and Squirrel Meadow to the valley floors where cattle ranching left its mark at Rankin Ranch. Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by numerous improved springs such as Agua Fria Spring and Dutchman Spring, alongside the Walker Dam and Julia Lake. Infrastructure of the early 1970s is visible in the communication installations on the heights, including the Radio Tower (KERO) and Radio Tower (KBAK). Resource extraction is represented by the Tungsten Chief Mine and various prospects scattered through the canyons.
