1949 Map of Espinosa Canyon

Evidence of ranching and early infrastructure is scattered throughout the hills, marked by numerous windmills and the Lockwood Grade. The presence of a Canal in the northern San Benito area and various family-named features like McConnell Canyon, Loridon Canyon, and Davis Canyon provide valuable data points for those researching the historical land use and early settlement patterns of this part of Monterey County during the late 1940s.
