1959 Map of Taylor Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Cuyama River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the Caliente Range to the north from the Sierra Madre Mts to the south. This 1959 field-checked survey highlights the early ranching footprint in the Cuyama Valley, specifically noting the Spanish Ranch and Green Valley Ranch No 2. A fascinating detail of this map is the acknowledgement of Mexican land grant history, with legal boundaries still tied to the Cuyama Valley (Maria Antonia De La Guerra Y Lataillade) and the Cuyama Valley (Heirs of Cesario Lataillade). Deep within the Los Padres National Forest, numerous water sources like Pearson Spring and Taylor Spring provided critical infrastructure for livestock and travel through the many steep drainages, including Mustang Canyon and Red Rock Canyon.
