1956 Map of Cedar Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and its accompanying Mitchell Shaft cut across the northern ridges of this landscape, marking a significant piece of California water infrastructure in the mid-1950s. The topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of Arroyo Mocho and Arroyo Valle, where the Arroyo Mocho Road follows the creek bed past local landmarks like Fourteenmile House and Rancho Los Mochos. High points such as Mt Wallace, Cedar Mtn, and Sugarloaf Butte overlook a series of deep canyons and ridges, including Crane Ridge and Man Ridge. Evidence of resource extraction and local gathering spots appear in the form of scattered Mines, a Prospect, and the Buckeye Club, while numerous reservoirs and springs like Sweet Springs dot the valleys and gulches.
