1944 Map of Hernandez Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Bitterwater Valley and the Peach Tree Valley define the southwest of this 1941 survey, showing a landscape of remote ranches and specialized infrastructure. The presence of the Fire Flex Mine near Pine Mtn and an Oil Pumping Sta near the Garcia Ranch suggests the mid-century industrial interests being pursued in these hills. Scattered throughout the drainage basins of the San Benito River and the Hernandez River are small educational hubs like Hernandez Sch and Bitterwater-Tully Sch, which served the isolated agricultural families at settlements like Lemoak and Kenner. The topography transitions from the Griswold Hills in the northeast across the Syncline Divide, illustrating a complex network of canyons including Mustang Canyon and Devils Canyon that historically dictated the routes of local travel.
