1951 Map of Capell Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Capell Valley and the surrounding drainages define this portion of the Vaca Mountains in the early 1950s. The landscape is a network of ridges and canyons, where small rural outposts like Munson Ranch and localized landmarks such as Raney Rock and Buzzard Rock punctuate the terrain. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by Moskowite Reservoir and Milliken Reservoir, which serve the higher elevations. This map preserves the locations of early educational centers, including the Capell Sch and Wooden Valley School, as well as the former location of the Blue Mtn Sch (Site). Industrial activity is represented by an Asbestos Mine located near Burrell Canyon, highlighting the specific mineral extractions of the era. The proximity of Atlas and the Foss Valley suggests a pocket of early settlement and ranching activity nestled between Wragg Ridge and the Blue Ridge.
