1967 Map of Pancho Rico Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Pancho Rico Valley is defined by a network of steep drainages and canyon floors in Monterey County, illustrating a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and early petroleum extraction during the late 1960s. The southern portion of the map shows industrial activity with Oil Wells and a Well located near the small settlement of Lanigan. This area is characterized by numerous named canyons that suggest historical land use and family legacies, including Dutch Henry Canyon, Portugee Canyon, and Antone Canyon. Water sources were critical to life in this arid terrain, evidenced by the presence of Brinan Spring, Iron Springs, and several remote water tanks positioned along the hillsides. The mapping of numerous fence lines throughout the valley emphasizes the importance of livestock management, while the course of Pancho Rico Creek and the route of Peachtree Road provided the essential corridor for movement through these coastal hills.
