1948 Map of Stockdale Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Stockdale Mountain and the surrounding Cholame Hills define this corner of Monterey County as documented just after the Second World War. The landscape is carved by complex drainages, including the steep-walled Vineyard Canyon and Portuguese Canyon, which draw toward the principal valley of Cholame Creek. Human presence is sparse in this upland terrain, marked primarily by isolated windmills and the Imusdale Cem located near the eastern edge of the survey. The topography reveals a network of seasonal watercourses such as Nelson Creek and Big Sandy Creek, emphasizing the arid ranching character of the region. A notable geographic constriction occurs at The Narrows, where the terrain tightens along the canyon floor. This survey by the Army Map Service captures the rural isolation of the area before modern development reached the interior ridges of Middle Mountain.
