1954 Map of Panorama Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The San Andreas Fault Zone slices across this portion of the California landscape, creating a distinct rift zone that separates the Elkhorn Plain from the Carrizo Plain. This mid-century survey, based on aerial photography from the 1940s and 1950s, reveals the geologically active character of the area, where the rising peaks of the Temblor Range overlook complex drainage patterns like Crocker Canyon and Telephone Creek. While the terrain appears largely unsettled, the inclusion of an Oil Well (Aband) and various Wells (Aband) points to earlier industrial exploration within the desert basins. The boundary between San Luis Obispo Co and Kern Co runs through the high country, crossing through Crocker Flat and near the high vantage of Panorama Point. This map provides a clear view of the structural landforms and dry washes that define this unique corner of the state.
