1958 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Tejon Oil Field dominates the northern plains of this Kern County landscape, where numerous oil wells and storage tanks reflect the mid-century industrial activity of the San Joaquin Valley floor. This 1958 revision shows the transition from the flat agricultural and oil-producing lowlands into the steep elevations of the Los Padres National Forest. Central to the area's history is the transportation corridor through Castaic Valley, marked by significant heritage sites including the Rose Stage Station Historical Marker and the Rose Station (Site). Further south, the map documents the Ft Tejon State Historical Mon and the Old Fort Tejon Historical Marker, preserving the legacy of this vital mountain pass. Strategic infrastructure like the Grapevine Peak Radio Relay Station and several pumping stations emphasize the pass's role as a critical utility and transit artery between northern and southern California.
