The settlement of Parkfield sits at the center of this 1943 War Department survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and mining country of southern Monterey County. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Middle Mountain and the Cholame Hills, where the drainage of Cholame Creek and Little Cholame Creek dictates the placement of early homesteads and road networks. This era of the region’s history is marked by active resource extraction, evidenced by the Patriquin Quicksilver Mine and Poppy Mine located near Mine Mt.
