1944 Map of Panoche Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Panoche Valley and the surrounding high country of San Benito County and Fresno County define this 1940s landscape. The settlement of Panoche serves as a central point in the valley, supported by the Panoche Sch and nearby Llanada. Resource extraction is prominent along the ridges, evidenced by the Mercy Mine near Mercy Hot Sprs and the Valley View Mine tucked into the slopes of Las Aguilas Canyon. The terrain transitions from the broad flats of Indian Valley to the steep elevations of Cerro Bonito and Meyers Pk. This survey captures a rural California ranching and mining district before modern development, where isolated outposts like Strohn Rancho and schools like Cherry Hill Sch provided the essential infrastructure for a remote community.
