1992 Map of Tejon Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Tejon Hills rise sharply from the San Joaquin Valley floor, defining a landscape shaped by petroleum extraction and livestock grazing. In the early 1990s, this area of Kern County was dominated by the El Tejon Field, where a network of wells and infrastructure like the Oil Sump and Water Tank supported the local Oil Field operations. The transition from the flat agricultural lands of the valley to the upland terrain is marked by the Grant Boundary, a legacy of early California land divisions. Seasonal drainages such as Tejon Creek, Tunis Creek, and El Paso Creek cut through the hills, while isolated water sources like Bino Springs and the Percolation Basin highlight the arid nature of the eastern valley edge. Significant landmarks like Comanche Point provide orientation across the varied topography of the ranch lands.
