1933 Map of Tejon Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Tejon Hills of southern Kern County are captured here at the unique juncture of the Mt Diablo Base and Meridian and the San Bernardino Base and Meridian. Surveyed in the early 1930s, the map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses like Tejon Creek and Comanche Creek as they descend from the rising terrain toward the valley floor. The placement of a prominent Transmission Line cutting across the western sections highlights the early infrastructure connecting the Central Valley with southern power sources. Researchers can trace the alluvial fan patterns of Tunis Creek and Pastoria Creek, providing a clear record of the watershed's natural drainage before significant modern modifications. This survey serves as a precise record of the land's transition from the high ridges of El Paso to the agricultural plains below.
