1972 Map of Cane Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Kelso Valley serves as the central corridor for this 1972 survey of the high desert and mountain terrain where the southern Sierras meet the Mojave landscape. The topography is defined by the Scodie Mountains and the boundary of the Sequoia National Forest, revealing a network of remote water sources essential for livestock and local travel. Named springs like Yellow Jacket Spring and Shoemaker Spring dot the arid canyons, while scattered cemeteries and wells such as Cholla Well and Cane Well mark the sparse human footprint. For researchers of the Kern County interior, the map provides a clear look at the early 1970s infrastructure, showing a transition from improved roads to extensive pack trails and jeep trails that reach landmarks like Skinner Peak and Wyleys Knob. The presence of several mines and prospects along the canyon walls reflects the persistent search for mineral wealth in these elevations.
