1955 Map of Pacheco Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Bell Station serves as a central landmark in this 1950s terrain, situated where Highway 152 cuts through the steep ridges of Santa Clara County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the North Fork Pacheco Creek and the East Fork Pacheco Creek into the elongated Pacheco Lake. Working ranch life is evident through family-named holdings like Dowdy Ranch, O'Connor Ranch, and Shaeirn Ranch, which occupy the high ground between the various forks and canyons. Significant landmarks such as Pacheco Pk and the sharp profile of Lovers Leap provide orientation points for the region's early travelers and cattlemen. The presence of the Pacheco Ranger Sta reflects the mid-century management of these dry, brush-covered slopes and fire-prone ridges like Kaufman Ridge and Mustang Ridge.
