1959 Map of Simmler

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Carrizo Plain and the foothills of the Temblor Range define the landscape of this 1959 survey along the San Luis Obispo and Kern County line. The settlement of Simmler serves as a local hub, featuring a Community Hall and the Goodwin Ranch Airport to the south. The arid character of the basin is reflected in the numerous wells and isolated water sources like Thompson Spring and the edges of the alkaline Soda Lake. Economic activity is evidenced by several excavations labeled Strip Mine, particularly along the higher elevations of the range. The map also records a network of primitive transportation routes, including a Jeep Trail winding through the hills, while high points like VABM Turkey 2819 provide surveyed landmarks for this high-desert environment.
