1941 Map of Junipero Serra

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this 1941 tactical survey, revealing a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and high-altitude peaks. Prepared by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army just before the United States entered World War II, the map detail reflects a transition from traditional livestock ranching to government forestry and recreational use. Named family holdings like Abbott Ranch, Herbert Ranch, and Berry Ranch are scattered throughout the deep canyons, while the presence of the Santa Lucia Camp Ranger Sta and Indian Guard Sta underscores the increasing federal management of this terrain. Notable peaks including Junipero Serra Pk and Pinyon Pk rise above a complex network of drainages such as Arroyo Seco and the San Antonio River. The inclusion of the Nacimiento Summer Camp and The Indians suggests early twentieth-century seasonal use and cultural sites nestled within these mountains.
