1966 Map of Tehachapi NE

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Horse Canyon Agate Beds and a series of high-desert peaks define this mountainous landscape within Kern County. The terrain is marked by the deep cut of Cache Canyon and the prominent heights of Sugarloaf Mtn and Cache Peak. Industrial and archaeological footprints are scattered throughout the canyons, including several Quarry sites and a Claypit near the western edge. Notable cultural features include Caves (Pictographs) located near a creek junction, suggesting a long history of human presence in these canyons before the development of modern infrastructure like the Inclined RR and numerous jeep trails that now traverse the slopes. The reliance on scarce water sources is evident through the naming of various springs, such as Goodwater Spring and Sweetwater Spr, which serve as vital landmarks for those navigating this arid environment.
