1943 Map of Cummings Mountain

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad snakes through the Tehachapi Mountains in the northern reach of this 1943 survey, navigating the complex topography near Walong and the famous loop. This area serves as a vital transportation corridor, connecting the San Joaquin Valley to the high desert. The landscape is dotted with specialized institutions and early ranching outposts, including the Kern Co Preventorium, Stonybrook Retreat, and the California Institution for Women. These sites, tucked into the canyons and valleys like Brite Valley and Bear Valley, reflect the mid-century use of the region for secluded health and correctional facilities.
