About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a definitive path through this mountainous corridor where the Tehachapi Mountains and San Emigdio Mountains converge. The settlement of Gorman serves as a central point along the historic transit routes that have long defined this pass, including the Old Ridge Rte and Gorman Post Rd. Modern infrastructure is prominently represented by the Governor Edmund G Brown West Branch California Aqueduct, which flows toward Quail Lake at the southern edge of the map.

Conservation and geography dominate the landscape, with the boundaries of the Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest meeting near Hungry Valley. To the north, Castac Valley and the seasonal waters of Castac Lake sit beneath the heights of the Sierra Nevada. This survey also documents technical landmarks like the Carley V Porter Tunnel, illustrating the complex engineering required to move water through this high-altitude terrain.
