1954 Map of Elkhorn Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Cochora Ranch and several other family-held homesteads anchor this mid-century look at the San Luis Obispo and Kern County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp geological line of the Elkhorn Scarp, a dramatic feature of the San Andreas Fault that separates the Elkhorn Plain from the higher elevations of the Temblor Range. This survey captures the region's ranching economy and the emerging industrial presence of petroleum extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and Oil Tanks near the mountain foothills.
