1958 Map of Valyermo

About this map

St Andrews Priory and the community of Valyermo sit at the northern edge of the Angeles Natl Forest, where the high desert meets the steep terrain of the San Andreas Rift Zone. This 1958 survey, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a landscape defined by water and elevation, from the sprawling Big Rock Wash to the dramatic geological features of Devils Punchbowl County Park. The northern section of the map shows early infrastructure like the California Aqueduct and the Llano Racetrack, while the southern reaches climb toward Pleasant View Ridge.
