1942 Map of Eagle Rest Peak

About this map

San Emigdio Ranch anchors the northern reaches of this territory where the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising elevations of the San Emidio mountains. The map captures a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, transitioning from the valley floor into the dense topography of the Los Padres National Forest. Water is a central element of the terrain, with San Emigdio Creek and Los Lobos Creek carving deep paths through the hills. To the south, high points like Eagle Rest Peak and Brush Mountain dominate the horizon, while the small settlement of Pleitito sits nestled near the eastern edge. Drainage patterns like Devils Kitchen Creek and Cloudburst Canyon illustrate the complex watershed that flows toward the valley, offering a detailed view of the regional land use and natural boundary lines during the early 1940s.
