1966 Map of Tejon Ranch

About this map

Tejon Hills and the high plateaus of El Tejon dominate this mid-century landscape in the southern Tehachapi Mountains. The map details the operations of the expansive Tejon Ranch, a historic land grant area where cattle trails and modern infrastructure meet. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, evident in the network of reservoirs like Tejon Res No 2, numerous named springs such as Havala Spring, and a prominent Aqueduct cutting through the eastern canyons. Cultural markers from earlier eras remain, including the Indian Sch and a Cemetery near the banks of Tejon Creek. The rugged northern sections around Horsethief Mtn and Horsethief Flat show a transition from steep ridges to the edge of Cummings Valley, accessible by a network of jeep trails and the unpaved Banducci Rd.
