1972 Map of Cane Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Scodie Mountains and the arid expanse of Kelso Valley dominate this terrain on the eastern edge of the Sequoia National Forest. Mapped in the early 1970s and revised in the 1990s, the landscape reflects a sparse high-desert settlement pattern focused on water sources and transportation. A small Cem and an isolated Landing Strip near the Kelso Valley Road mark the human footprint in an area otherwise defined by steep canyons and seasonal drainage systems. Named water features like Cane Well and Pinyon Well suggest the vital importance of reliable water for ranching or travel through this corridor. For the historian or researcher, the map preserves the location of several remote mining efforts, indicated by labels for Prospect and Mine, alongside geographic landmarks like Kelso Peak and the passage through Bird Spring Pass.
