USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Onyx serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in the Sierra Nevada, situated where the South Fork Kern River meets the drainages of Canebrake Creek and Chimney Creek. The map documents a rugged transition zone between mountain peaks and valley floors, notably recording the Cottage Grove Cem and Indian Cem near the riverbanks. Early land use is evident through family-named holdings such as Bloomfield Ranch, Gleason Ranch, and Onyx Ranch, which sit along the established corridors of the Walker Pass Road.
