1954 Map of Panorama Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Temblor Range dominates this mid-century topographic study, marking a sharp geological divide along the San Luis Obispo and Kern County border. The terrain is defined by the Elkhorn Scarp, a distinctive feature that separates the rising mountains from the expansive Carrizo Plain to the southwest. This landscape represents a transition between the rugged heights of Panorama Point and the arid flats of the Panorama Hills. Evidence of early petroleum exploration is visible in the form of several Oil Wells (Aban'd) near Crocker Flat, highlighting the intersection of geological curiosity and industrial attempts in this remote area. Intermittent drainages like Buena Vista Creek and Crocker Canyon cut through the hills, while isolated Water Tanks provide a trace of the necessary infrastructure for ranching or drilling in the high desert environment.
