1991 Map of Lebec

About this map

Lebec and Gorman anchor this high-mountain pass landscape where the Kern, Los Angeles, and Ventura county lines converge. The terrain is dominated by the San Andreas Rift Zone, a massive geological feature that dictates the course of Peace Valley Creek and the alignment of the regional infrastructure. This 1991 survey shows a complex intersection of natural topography and engineering, most notably where the California Aqueduct flows toward Quail Lake. The map reveals the area's transition into a recreation and resource hub, featuring the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area and several Open Pit Mines scattered across the La Liebre mountains. From the waters of Castac Lake to the industrial presence of the Gorman Substation, the map documents a vital transit corridor at the northern edge of the Angeles National Forest.
