1931 Map of Tejon Hills

About this map

The Tejon Hills rise sharply from the valley floor in this 1931 survey, which captures a critical point of land division in Kern County. The map clearly illustrates the meeting of two primary geographic survey systems at the Mt Diablo Base and Meridian and San Bernardino Base and Meridian boundary. This convergence of surveying baselines highlights the transition between central and southern California land management during the early 20th century.
