1947 Map of Careaga Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Oil Fields dominate the central landscape of the Solomon Hills in this 1947 survey, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in Santa Barbara County. Small company towns and operations hubs like Roadamite and Palmer are clustered near the wells, connected by a network of unimproved roads and trails. To the north, the Sisquoc River valley supports agricultural activity near Sisquoc, where a Dismantled Railroad trace reflects the changing transportation needs of the era. The presence of local institutions like the Blochman School and Olive School among the rolling terrain indicates established rural communities. The map also documents resource extraction beyond oil, specifically at the Crushed Rock and Gravel Mine near the river, while the Los Alamos Valley provides a flat expanse to the south contrasted by the winding Careaga Canyon.
