1922 Map of Quien Sabe

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Diablo Range dominates this landscape on the border of Merced and San Benito counties, reflecting a period when remote mountain ranching and small-scale mining defined the region. Much of the activity is centered in the Quien Sabe Valley, where the Quien Sabe School and Quien Sabe Creek served a scattered community of landholders. To the south, the Buena Vista Ranch sits near the headwaters of Santa Ana Creek, while the northern reaches transition into the Los Banos Valley. The map records the industrial footprint of the Stayton Mine and Antimony Pk, indicating the area's mineral importance during the early 20th century. High peaks like Mariposa Pk and Laveaga Pk overlook a complex network of canyons, including Ruby Canyon and Buckeye Canyon, and the high-elevation pastures of Dairy Flat within the Real De Las Aguilas grant.
