About this map

Lockwood and the surrounding ranching and military lands of Monterey County are documented here just before the mid-century. The landscape is characterized by a high density of Windmills and tanks supporting livestock across a series of drainages, including San Lucas Canyon, Wildcat Canyon, and Williams Canyon. The northern portion of the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation dominates the southern half of the map, where the San Antonio River flows past El Piojo and Nelson Flat.

Educational and civic life centers on the San Antonio Union Sch and a small Cem located south of the main settlement. The presence of an Airfield near the center of the quadrangle and the Williams Hill Lookout on the eastern ridge highlights the area's strategic and monitoring roles during this era. Road networks like the San Antonio Road connect these points of interest, while numerous canyons like Bee Cave Canyon and Glau Canyon carve through the upland terrain.
