2015 Map of Neenach School

About this map

Neenach School serves as a central landmark in this high-desert region where the northern edge of Los Angeles County meets Kern County. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct and the older Los Angeles Aqueduct, which snake through the foothills of the Sierra Pelona and Tehachapi ranges. This 2015 survey illustrates a grid of named roads like Patterson Rd and Gaskell Rd superimposed over rugged terrain cut by numerous drainages, including Spencer Canyon and Adams Canyon. Small settlements such as Pine Canyon and Happy Valley sit tucked near the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet. The map provides a detailed view of the water management systems and remote homesteading patterns common in this section of the Antelope Valley.
