1959 Map of Figueroa Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The San Rafael Mountains dominate this 1959 landscape, defined by a network of ranching camps and fire lookouts throughout the Los Padres National Forest. Remote outposts like Marre Ranch and Tunnel Ranch are linked by winding jeep trails, while the Figueroa Mtn Lookout and Cachuma Saddle Guard Station mark the era's fire suppression infrastructure. The map reveals the area's geological and human history through diverse place names, from the curious Hells Half Acre to the mining operations at Redrock Mine and Peacock Mine. Large historical land grants are represented by Cañada de los Pinos or College Rancho, showing how private holdings integrated with the surrounding forest and the deep drainages of Lion Canyon and Happy Canyon.
