1950 Map of The Dark Hole
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Black Mountain and the Table Mountain Range dominate this 1950 topographical study, documenting a remote interior landscape where Fresno, Kings, and Monterey counties converge. The map's most striking feature is the eponymous The Dark Hole, a deep topographical depression set against the steep slopes of Reef Ridge. This mid-century survey reveals a rugged geography of canyons and peaks, punctuated by an extensive network of isolated homesteads and surveyor camps that highlight the era's sparse human footprint in this part of California.
