About this map

The Temblor Range and the San Juan Valley dominate this early 1960s landscape, illustrating the remote ranching and water-management history along the border of San Luis Obispo and Kern Counties. The map reveals a high-desert environment defined by seasonal hydrology, where life centered on isolated landmarks like the San Juan Ranch and the Choice Valley Sch. Water sources were critical for the small-scale operations here, as evidenced by the numerous named springs including Bellyache Spr, Pear Tree Spring, and Williamson Spring.
