2021 Map of La Liebre Ranch

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a diagonal path across this modern landscape at the boundary of the Tehachapi Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. This topographic study reveals a complex network of water infrastructure, dominated by the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and its various branches, including the Tehachapi Afterbay and the Carley V Porter Tunnel. The geography is defined by deep incisions such as Cottonwood Canyon and Oso Canyon, which drain toward the arid basins below. Significant recreational and transit corridors are visible, from the Quail Lake Sky Park near Quail Lake to the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Historically centered on the namesake La Liebre Ranch, the area maintains a sparse settlement pattern with local landmarks like Bald Mtn and South Portal Number Four marking the intersection of natural geology and large-scale engineering.
