1956 Map of Rana Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Sierra de Salinas peaks dominate this terrain, where the northern ridges of the Monterey highlands meet the historic ranch lands of Los Tularcitos. This mid-century landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Rana Creek and Chupines Creek cutting through the northern slopes, while Tularcitos Creek and its southern tributaries like Cachagua Creek and Finch Creek flow through the lower valleys. The map documents an area primarily used for grazing and livestock, indicated by numerous water-management features such as a Water Tank and several reservoirs tucked into the canyons. High elevations like Burned Mtn and Buckeye Ridge are accessible only by a network of 4wd tracks and Private roads. Traces of early educational infrastructure appear at School Hill, located near the junction of James Creek and Robertson Creek, providing a focal point for the dispersed ranching community in the southern half of the quadrangle.
