1966 Map of Tehachapi NE

About this map

Caves (Pictographs) and the Horse Canyon Agate Beds define the high desert character of this Kern County landscape as it was recorded in the mid-1960s. The terrain is a network of drainage canyons and prominent peaks, including Sugarloaf Mtn and Cache Peak, where water sources like Sweetwater Spr and Goodwater Spring were critical markers. Traces of human activity are scattered across the quadrangle, from several labeled Quarry and Prospect sites to a lonely Cem near the confluence of Sand Creek and Cache Creek. The mapping reveals a remote area primarily navigated by a series of Jeep Trails, showing the intersection of geological exploration and ancient archaeological sites before more modern developments changed the local footprint. The labeling of a Claypit and various Quarries suggests small-scale industrial interest in the mineral resources found within these arid foothills.
