1953 Map of Garza Peak

About this map

Kreyenhagen Hills and the steep slopes of Reef Ridge dominate this mid-century look at the California interior, where resource extraction and ranching defined the local economy. The landscape is dotted with evidence of early energy exploration, including numerous abandoned oil wells, a Tar Seep, and a Pipeline cutting across the Kettleman Plain. These industrial markers sit alongside established family operations like Kreyenhagen Ranch, Clark Ranch, and Sagaser Ranch.
