1956 Map of Chews Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Los Padres National Forest forms the backdrop for this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by high ridges and remote ranching outposts. The survey centers on Chews Ridge and its Chews Ridge Ranger Sta, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Hastings Natural History State Reservation. The mapping of family-named landmarks like Bruce Ranch, Mascorini Place, and Koester Ranch provides a clear view of the area's rural settlement pattern before modern development. Notable features include the curious mention of The Caves (Swimming Pool) along Church Creek, suggesting a unique recreational site deep within the canyon system. This terrain, marked by the Carmel River and its many tributaries like Piney Creek and Miller Fork, illustrates the isolation and seasonal activity of the Santa Lucia Range during this era.
