1961 Map of The Dark Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Black Mountain and Castle Mountain dominate the center of this high-relief terrain where the borders of Fresno, Monterey, and Kings Counties converge. The 1961 survey documents a landscape of remote ranching and early resource extraction, centered on family-named landmarks such as the Taylor Ranch and a cluster of seasonal dwellings like Moore Cabin and Merrill Cabin. The presence of an Airstrip near Carollo Cabin suggests the necessity of aerial access for managing these high-elevation properties.
