1944 Map of Panorama Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Temblor Range dominates this landscape, serving as the high ground where the boundary between San Luis Obispo and Kern counties is etched across the terrain. Surveyed during the 1940s, the map reveals a remote intersection of geologic forces and early resource extraction. The Elkhorn Scarp runs prominently along the edge of the Carrizo Plain, while the presence of scattered Oil Wells and a Power Line cutting through the Panorama Hills indicates the industrial footprint of the era. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named locations such as Crocker Flat or look toward Panorama Point for a high-altitude perspective of the drainages leading toward Buena Vista Creek. This document captures the region before extensive modern development, focusing on the arid, structured beauty of the California interior.
