1958 Map of Whitaker Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Golden State Highway and Old Route 99 carve through the deep canyons of the Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest in this 1958 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Whitaker Peak and its Whitaker Peak Lookout down to the creek beds of Piru Creek and Castaic Creek. Small outposts of habitation like Paradise Ranch and Martins are isolated by the steep terrain of Violin Canyon and Canton Canyon. Historically, the map documents the Temascal Land Grant boundary and seasonal resources like Fisher Spring and Cienaga Spring, which supported travelers and early campers at sites such as Frenchmans Flat Campground. The presence of a Guard Station and several truck trails suggests the active management of these timberlands during the mid-century.
