1942 Map of Tent Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Avenal Ridge and the Tent Hills dominate this interior California landscape, where the borders of Monterey, Kings, Kern, and San Luis Obispo counties converge. Recorded during the war years of the early 1940s, the terrain reveals a sparse network of ranching outposts such as Iron Spring Ranch, Fahey Ranch, and Acebedo Ranch. These isolated settlements are connected by unimproved dirt tracks through deep cuts like Catskin Canyon and Stoker Canyon. The geography is defined by prominent high points including Johnson Peak and Three Peaks, overlooking the broad expanse of Sunflower Valley to the northeast. Notable transit points like Cottonwood Pass and the landmark Blue Point provide evidence of historical movement through the steep ridges of the Cholame region before modern road development.
