1961 Map of Cholame

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Cholame Valley serves as a central corridor for this part of the California Coast Ranges, where the Temblor Range and Cholame Hills frame a landscape defined by seasonal water and early infrastructure. Water management is a critical theme, evidenced by numerous developed sites like Adobe Springs, White Spring, and Bruce Spring, alongside a Gaging Sta on Cholame Creek. The mapping reveals a sparse but deliberate settlement pattern around Cholame and Shandon, linked by industrial improvements including a Pumping Station, Substation, and several Pipelines. Land use in the early 1960s appears centered on ranching and utilities, with property boundaries marked by fence lines and rugged transit indicated by the Jeep Trail and the steep Antelope Grade. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Shandon Cemetery, situated just north of the junction between the creek and the valley's primary road system.
