USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Santa Susana Mountains serve as a dramatic backdrop to a landscape balancing early petroleum extraction and cattle ranching in the early 1940s. Heavy industrial activity is evident through the presence of the Newhall-Potrero Oil Field, Pico Oil Field, and the Tapo Coquina Mine, marking the region's reliance on mineral and oil resources. Movement through the steep terrain is dictated by the Santa Susana Pass and the Southern Pacific railroad line, which connects the developing Simi Valley Community with Saugus and Newhall.
