1955 Map of Orestimba Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Orestimba Peak and Black Mtn anchor this mid-century look at the Stanislaus County uplands, where the landscape is defined by the drainage of Orestimba Creek and Crow Creek. The terrain reveals an economy built on water and range management, marked by numerous Windmills and seasonal Reservoirs scattered across the higher elevations. The dramatic topography of the Orestimba Narrows gives way to the broader stretches of Bennett Valley in the south. The mapping detail shows a network of remote access, including a Jeep Trail winding through the hills and several Quarries, illustrating the intersection of natural features and rural land use. Oat Spring and Oat Gulch serve as specific landmarks in this rugged portion of the Coast Ranges during the 1950s.
