1938 Map of Manzana

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Antelope Valley spreads across the northern reach of this 1951 revision, where the Kern Co Los Angeles Co line marks the transition into the high desert. The landscape is defined by the massive geological trace of the San Andreas Rift, which runs northwest-to-southeast between Liebre Mountain and Sawmill Mountain. This area reveals a remote pastoral and industrial economy of the mid-20th century, dotted with family-named outposts like Gorindo Ranch and Peeks Ranch. Local industry is centered on the Big Chief Mine and Rivera Mines tucked into the canyons. Social life appears concentrated near Threepoint, featuring the Pine Canyon Sch and the Tweedy Lake Club at Tweedy Lake, while the California Aqueduct cuts through the valley floor, signaling the critical importance of water management in this arid terrain.
