1953 Map of The Dark Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Black Mountain and Table Mountain dominate this corner of the California Coast Ranges where Fresno, Monterey, and Kings counties meet. The landscape in the early 1950s was defined by isolated homesteads and seasonal camps, reflecting a history of ranching and early resource exploration. Notable family-named sites like the Taylor Ranch and Moore Cabin are scattered across the high ground, while the presence of Pinoso House (Ruins), Riley Cabin (Ruins), and Shields Cabin (Ruins) suggests the harsh reality of maintaining these remote outposts.
