1995 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Grapevine serves as the focal point of this mid-1990s survey, where the valley floor meets the steep ascent of the San Emigdio Mountains. This corridor is defined by massive infrastructure and transit history, from the Rose Stage Station Historical Marker to the modern engineering of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct. The landscape transitions from the agricultural and industrial activity of the Tejon Oil Field and Tejon Ag Airport in the north to the protected lands of the Los Padres National Forest in the south. The rugged geography of Grapevine Canyon is punctuated by safety and utility features like a Runaway Truck Ramp and a Pumping Station, illustrating the logistical challenges of this vital mountain pass. Historical land divisions remain visible through the boundaries of the Castaic Grant and the preservation of Fort Tejon State Historic Park near the southern edge of the sheet.
