1959 Map of Painted Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Carrizo Plain and its surrounding geological formations dominate this 1959 survey, capturing a remote landscape of the California Central Coast defined by seasonal water and isolated ranching outposts. The expanse of Soda Lake sits at the northern edge, while the iconic monolith of Painted Rock provides a distinct landmark in the southwestern hills. The drainage patterns across the alkali flats and the flanking Temblor Range illustrate the stark hydraulic reality of this basin.
