1954 Map of Elkhorn Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Elkhorn Scarp and the rugged topography of the Temblor Range define this portion of the San Andreas Fault system in mid-century California. The map captures a landscape of remote cattle operations and early industrial activity, with family-named outposts like Cochora Ranch and the A F Traver Ranch situated between the arid Carrizo Plain and the Elkhorn Plain. Traces of resource extraction are visible through scattered Oil Wells and Oil Tanks, particularly in the northern sections. Life in this challenging environment is anchored by vital water sources such as Lawson Spring and Padrones Spring. The presence of a solitary Cem and several ranch complexes, including the L E Traver Ranch and Hanline Ranch, provides essential data for genealogists tracing the legacy of homesteading and early energy development along the San Luis Obispo and Kern County border.
