1955 Map of Tejon Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Rancho El Tejon Grant Boundary defines the transition from the alluvial valley floor into the uplifted terrain of the Tehachapi Hills and Tejon Hills. This 1955 survey captures an era of industrial expansion into the Kern County landscape, evidenced by the Comanche Point Oil Field and a prominent Pipeline traversing the southern portion of the sheet. At the base of the mountains, drainage systems like Tejon Creek and El Paso Creek descend toward the agricultural flats, where local infrastructure such as a Cotton Gin and the settlement at Caparell supported the region's economy. The landscape is characterized by its network of water sources, including Bino Springs, which were critical for both ranching and the emerging oil industry during the mid-20th century.
