1945 Map of Pastoria Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley meets the rising terrain of the Tehachapi foothills in this 1945 survey, where the landscape is defined by the critical movement of water and power. Pastoria Creek and Tunis Creek cut through steep canyons, feeding toward the valley floor where a Reservoir and a system including a Ditch manage the region's limited water resources. High-altitude points such as Knapp and Huey provide survey benchmarks overlooking the complex topography. Infrastructure development is prominent along the western edge, marked by the S C E Co Transmission Line and an additional Transmission Line, reflecting the mid-century expansion of the electrical grid into Southern California. The proximity of Highway No. 99 underscores this area's role as a vital transportation and utility corridor connecting the Central Valley with the southern part of the state.
