1956 Map of Cedar Mtn

About this map

Crane Ridge and Man Ridge define the steep landscape of the Diablo Range along the border of Alameda and San Joaquin counties. This mid-century survey captures a transition in water infrastructure, most notably the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduquct as it cuts across the northern terrain near the Mitchell Shaft. The presence of Fourteenmile House and the Buckeye Club suggests a landscape used for both travel stopovers and private recreation, while the Rancho Los Mochos reflects the area's continued ranching heritage.
