1949 Map of Junipero Serra Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Junipero Serra Peak stands as the dominant topographical feature in this mid-century survey of the California wilderness. Deep within the Los Padres National Forest, the landscape is defined by the steep drainages of Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Creek. A high-altitude Airfield is positioned near the northern boundary, suggesting the specialized transportation needs of this remote backcountry era. The network of unimproved tracks, such as Telephone Road and Indian Road, highlights the limited accessibility of the region at the time. Further east, Pinyon Peak provides a secondary vantage point overlooking the rugged canyons and the Bear Mountain massif. This survey captures a moment when lookout towers were critical infrastructure for forest management and fire observation in the California mountains.
