1938 Map of Quail

About this map

San Andreas Rift defines the central axis of this landscape, creating the linear depression that holds Quail Lake and shapes the local geography at the junction of the Antelope Valley and the Liebre Mountains. The map reveals a transition from open ranching lands to the densely forested slopes of the Angeles National Forest. Significant transportation routes including the Golden State Highway and the Old Ridge Route trace the steep terrain, supported by infrastructure like the Lancaster Pumping Sta and a U S Weather Bureau Station. Smaller settlements and remote outposts such as Sandberg, Kinsey Ranch, and Tumble Inn dot the mountain passes, while the Quail Lake Sch served the rural families living along the Lancaster Road before mid-century developments altered these high-altitude corridors.
