Tehachapi serves as the gateway to the high-altitude landscape of the Tehachapi Mountains, where the modern road network of Ca-202 and Highline Rd intersects the geographic transition between the Tehachapi Valley and Brite Valley. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Cummings Mtn, which towers over a series of deep drainages including White Cow Canyon, Cedar Canyon, and the headwaters of Tejon Cr. These features illustrate the complex topography that has long influenced settlement and travel through this part of Kern County.
