1969 Map of Ortigalita Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Ortigalita Ridge dominates the center of this 1960s topographical study, marking a high divide where the boundaries of Merced and San Benito counties meet. This terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages and numerous water sources essential for cattle ranching, including Piedra Azul Spring, Carranza Spring, and several unnamed springs scattered across Wisenor Flat. Evidence of small-scale resource extraction appears in the form of a Mine and various Prospect sites located south of Ortigalita Peak. The map illustrates a complex landscape of private landholdings, indicated by fine red dashed lines representing fence lines, and the primitive transportation network of the era, consisting primarily of a Jeep Trail winding through Piedra Azul Canyon and Molina Canyon. In the southeast, Little Panoche Creek cuts through the valley floor at the Merced and Fresno county line.
