1941 Map of McPherson Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Cuyama River forms the northern boundary of this high-elevation landscape, where the Sierra Madre Mountains give way to the rugged interior of the Los Padres National Forest. Mapped in 1941, the survey reveals a remote ranching and forestry economy centered around scattered outposts like Hinsdale Ranch and the Wasioja Sch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons, including Deadman Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, leading up to prominent summits such as Peak Mountain and McPherson Peak, which is topped by a Lookout Tower.
