1915 Map of Priest Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

New Idria serves as a focal point for mining activity in this corner of the California Coast Ranges, where cinnabar and coal deposits drew early industrial interest. The map documents a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and a network of one-room schoolhouses, such as Peachtree School and Hernandez School, which anchored small rural communities across the Mustang Ridge and San Lorenzo highlands. Along the southwestern edge, the Southern Pacific (Coast Line) railroad follows the Salinas River, facilitating the growth of San Ardo and San Lucas.
