1956 Map of Ortigalita Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Los Banos Creek and Salt Creek carve through the foothills of the Diablo Range in this mid-century topographic record of western Merced County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the flat agricultural edges of the Central Valley near Almond Drive and Charleston Ave to the complex drainages of the Pan Oche De San Juan. Local ranching operations such as the Gaston Bide Ranch and Arburua Ranch represent the primary human presence in this arid terrain, situated near vital water sources like Carrisalito Springs. The industrial infrastructure of the era is evidenced by an Oil Pumping Station located in the northeast, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the braided paths of Piedra Azul Creek and Miner Cy moving through the Y Los Carrisalitos territory.
