1949 Map of Jolon

About this map

Hunter Liggett Military Reservation dominates this 1949 landscape, illustrating the transition of large historic ranchos like Milpitas and Los Ojitos into military use. The small settlement of Jolon serves as a central hub, situated where Jolon Road and Argyle Road intersect near the San Antonio River. The topography is defined by the sharp contrast between the river valleys and the upland terrain of the Los Padres National Forest, where features such as San Miguelito and Mesa Coyote rise above the drainage of Agua Fria Creek.
