1956 Map of Palo Escrito Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Salinas River valley in Monterey County is captured here at a time of agricultural and institutional expansion. The northeast portion of the map is dominated by the Soledad State Prison and the busy Southern Pacific railroad line, which served small trackside stops like Molus and Camphora. The landscape is a transition from the level river bottomlands to the steep, rising terrain of the Sierra de Salinas, where landmarks such as Palo Escrito Peak and Paloma Mtn define the western horizon.
