1943 Map of Santiago Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Santiago Creek flows through the center of this 1940s survey, carving a path between the northern desert-fringe terrain and the southern timberlands. The landscape transitions sharply at the Kern Co Ventura Co line, where the lower elevations give way to the protected highlands of the Los Padres National Forest. This document captures the remote character of the San Emidio region just as photogrammetric mapping began to replace manual field surveying. Notable relief features such as Blue Ridge and Ballinger Canyon define the southern half of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches are marked by the drainage systems of Bitter Creek and Cienaga Canyon. The map reveals a network of unimproved dirt roads and trails that provided the only access to this high-altitude border country during the early war years.
