1943 Map of Onyx

About this map

The South Fork Kern River valley defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the small settlement of Onyx serves as a hub for scattered livestock operations including the Onyx Ranch, Gleason Ranch, and Bloomfield Ranch. Much of the map covers the southern extent of the Sequoia National Forest, a terrain marked by high summits like Pinyon Peak and Skinner Peak. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Cottage Grove Cem and Indian Cem near the river, providing evidence of early valley settlement patterns.
