1966 Map of Tejon Ranch

About this map

Tejon Ranch anchors this portion of the El Tejon land grant in the 1960s, where the foothills of the Tejon Hills meet the higher elevations of the Tehachapi range. The landscape is defined by its working ranch heritage, featuring scattered improvements like the Indian Sch and a small Cem tucked near the banks of Tejon Creek. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by Tejon Res No 1, Tejon Res No 2, and a modern Aqueduct cutting across the eastern canyons. High-country camps and resource extraction also leave their mark, with Jacks Camp and Horsethief Flat providing seasonal bases for movement through the terrain, while several Mines are noted near Horsethief Mtn. This period captures a transition where traditional livestock operations functioned alongside burgeoning water infrastructure projects essential for the state's growth.
