1972 Map of Pinyon Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Sageland and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Kern County, where the desert floor meets the rising slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The settlement pattern here is sparse, centered on water sources and mineral extraction. A small Cem stands near the head of the Kelso Valley, serving as a silent marker for the early families and miners who occupied this arid landscape. The distribution of Sunset Mine, Ora Grande Mine, and several unnamed mines and prospects indicates the area's history of hard-rock prospecting.
