1903 Map of Tejon

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

Old Fort Tejon stands as a landmark of mid-century frontier history at the edge of the San Joaquin Valley, marking a critical juncture where the Tehachapi Mountains meet the high desert. This 1903 survey captures the rugged corridor of the Tejon Pass, a vital transit point connecting the southern valley to the Antelope Valley. The landscape is defined by the expansive Pine Mountain Forest Reserve, where early industrial footprints are visible at the Frazier Mine and Castaic Mine. Small, isolated settlements like Lebec, Gorman, and Neenach follow the natural geography of the canyons and flats, while Elizabeth Lake and Castaic Lake serve as rare water sources in this arid terrain. The map meticulously documents the convergence of Kern, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties, showing the early ranching and mining infrastructure that preceded the region's modern development.
