1954 Map of Elkhorn Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Elkhorn Hills rise sharply between the expansive Carrizo Plain and the Elkhorn Plain, defining a landscape where geology and ranching history are deeply intertwined. This mid-century survey reveals a network of working homesteads across the San Luis Obispo and Kern County line, including Cochora Ranch, AF Traver Ranch, and LE Traver Ranch. The presence of Oil Wells and Oil Tanks in the northern reaches of the Temblor Range signals the region's industrial transitions, while the reliance on isolated water sources like Lawson Spring and Padrones Spring highlights the arid conditions of the terrain. The map also identifies a remote Cem and the Hanline Ranch near the southern slopes of the Caliente Range, providing specific data points for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement of these interior California basins.
