1953 Map of Garza Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kreyenhagen Ranch and Clark Ranch anchor the northern landscape where the Kreyenhagen Hills descend into the Kettleman Plain. This territory, surveyed for topography in the 1930s with culture updates in the early 1950s, reveals a network of remote ranching operations and water sources like Dirty Spring and Wade Baxter Spring essential for livestock and settlement. The southern reaches are defined by the high prominence of Garza Peak and the unique geological formation of Chalk Buttes. Industrial history is visible in the scattered Oil Wells (Aband) and mining sites, including the Avenal Canyon Mine and Dawson Mine. These landmarks, alongside the Boy Scout Camp, reflect a rugged mid-century terrain navigated by the Sulphur Spring Trail and early ranch roads.
