1958 Map of Pastoria Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

El Tejon dominates the northern landscape of this California interior, where the high desert meets the rising foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains. The 1958 revision shows a transition between industrial activity and steep, natural drainage systems. Evidence of early petroleum exploration appears in the northwest with several Oil Well symbols, while a Pipeline traverses the southern canyons. Significant topographic relief is defined by Liveoak Canyon and Bear Trap Canyon, which feed into the primary waterway of Pastoria Creek. This document captures the land use within the Los Alamos y Agua Caliente land grant, showing the sparse infrastructure of the era consisting largely of isolated Jeep Trails and a few remote points like Knapp. The presence of a permanent Spring in the central hills highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid ranching and resource territory.
