1958 Map of Pleito Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Pleito Hills dominate the central landscape of this Kern County region, which was revised by the Geological Survey in the late 1950s. The map illustrates a stark industrial footprint within the terrain, marked by several oil wells, an oil tank, and an oil sump concentrated in the northern sections. Below the ridges, the Los Padres National Forest spans the southern half of the quadrangle, reaching its peak elevation at Antimony Pk. Local water sources and landmarks like Pleito Creek, Salt Creek, and Neasons Flat are carefully documented, alongside historical human sites. Of particular interest to genealogists is the Harris Ranch (Site), located at the junction of several drainages, which suggests the earlier agricultural presence in this otherwise arid, resource-focused environment. A network of jeep trails provides the only documented access through the deep canyons and high ridges of Wheeler Ridge and the San Emidio boundary.
