About this map

The San Benito River carves a central path through this terrain where the Diablo Range and San Carlos Mountains converge. Revised just before the United States entered World War II, this tactical survey by the Corps of Engineers reflects a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and a network of small rural schoolhouses. Family-named landmarks such as Wilkinson Ranch and Huffs Ranch are scattered among the valleys, while the Bradford Mine indicates the era's local mineral interests.
