1952 Map of La Panza

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

French Camp and La Panza Ranch anchor this landscape along the eastern edge of the Santa Lucia Range, where the drainages of San Juan Creek and Navajo Creek carve through the arid terrain. This mid-century view reflects a ranching and early resource economy, documented through a series of springs and windmills scattered across the hills. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the dense topography of the Los Padres National Forest, rising toward peaks like Machesna Mtn and Pine Mountain. Along the eastern border, the Temblor Range marks the boundary with Kern County. A lone Radio Telephone Sta and an Oil Well (Aband) near Freeborn Mtn point to the technological and industrial footprint of the early 1950s within this rural backcountry.
