1956 Map of Quien Sabe

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Diablos Range interior along the Merced and San Benito county line is defined by a sparse network of ranching homesteads and winding pack trails during the mid-1950s. High peaks like Mt Ararat and Mariposa Peak overlook a landscape where water and topography dictated settlement patterns, with cattle operations such as the Quien Sabe Ranch and Buena Vista Ranch anchoring the low valleys. The presence of the Stayton Mine near the Santa Clara border highlights the region's mineral history, while features like Schoolhouse Ridge suggest the centers of early community life in this isolated ranching district.
