1903 Map of Tejon

About this map

Old Fort Tejon stands as a sentinel at the northern gateway of this 1900-era landscape, where the San Joaquin Valley meets the high elevations of the Tehachapi Mountains. This region serves as a critical corridor through the Tejon Pass, a rugged transition between the Antelope Valley and the northern plains. The settlement patterns of the early twentieth century are sparse, focused around stage stops and small outposts like Lebec, Gorman, and German.
