1949 Map of Williams Hill

About this map

Lockwood and the rural agricultural lands of southern Monterey County are depicted here just after the Second World War. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons, including Wildcat Canyon, San Lucas Canyon, and Pine Canyon, which drain toward the valley floor. Evidence of mid-century ranching and local infrastructure is prominent, with numerous Windmills scattered across the parcels and the San Antonio Union Sch serving the local families. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, which encompasses landmarks like Jackson Hill and the San Antonio River. This 1949 survey provides a clear view of the area before modern land-use changes, documenting the location of Martinus Corner and an early Airfield near the military boundary.
