1952 Map of Pozo

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Pozo and its surrounding ranchlands sit at the heart of this mid-century topographic record, where the Salinas River carves through the central hills of San Luis Obispo County. Based on surveys from 1918-1919 with 1952 revisions, the map reveals a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and mining activity, such as the Red Eagle Mine and Rinconada Mine. The newly formed Salinas Reservoir stands out against the older network of canyons and creeks, including Huerhuero Creek and Camatta Canyon. Small rural centers like Wilson Corner and Pippin Corner anchor the road system, while the Pozo Sch and local Cem serve as primary social markers for the valley's residents. Extensive portions of the Los Padres National Forest cover the terrain, marked by fire lookouts and camps like Navajo Camp and La Panza Camp, reflecting the area's transition into a managed wilderness and water resource zone.
