1958 Map of Frazier Mtn

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone creates a dramatic geological corridor through this portion of the Los Padres National Forest, where the intersection of three counties—Kern, Ventura, and Los Angeles—meets in a high-elevation landscape. The settlement of Frazier Park serves as a local hub along the Cuddy Canyon, while the northeastern corner is anchored by the site of Fort Tejon State Historical Park near Tejon Pass. This area was a critical mountain passage well before the interstate era, evidenced by the proximity of the Fort Tejon School and family-named holdings like Lebec Oaks Ranch and Mesa Valley Farm. Topographical details reveal a history of resource extraction with the Black Bob Mine and Gold Dust Mine tucked into the canyons. The map also traces a primitive Jeep Trail ascending toward the fire lookout atop Frazier Mountain, overlooking a terrain carved by Hungry Valley and Bradley Canyon.
