About this map

Las Yeguas Ranch and the surrounding high desert terrain sit at the intersection of the Temblor Range and the tectonic boundary of the San Andreas Fault. This landscape is defined by its arid geography, where water sources are critical markers of settlement and navigation. Numerous named water features like Antelope Spring, Taylor Spring, and Wygal Spring indicate the essential role of groundwater in this part of California.

Deep canyons such as Cedar Canyon and Carneros Canyon cut through the rugged slopes, while ephemeral drainage systems including Yeguas Cr and Media Agua Cr cross the valley floors. Transportation in this era remains concentrated on primary routes like Soda Lake Rd and Cedar Canyon Rd, which navigate the boundary between Kern and San Luis Obispo counties. The map captures a high-elevation ranching environment where the geological presence of the fault line remains a dominant physical characteristic.
