1935 Map of Woody

About this map

Mining and ranching activity define this portion of Kern County in the mid-1930s, where the foothills meet the Sequoia National Forest. The settlement at Woody serves as a local hub, supported by the Woody Sch and a segment of the State Highway. To the south, Granite Sta and Poso Flat anchor a landscape shaped by water and mineral extraction. Evidence of the region's industrial footprint is visible at the Long Tom Mine and Poso Mine, while the infrastructure of the Poso Irrigation District and a prominent Transmission Line underscore the area's development. The terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Mon Bluff, Chalk Cliff, and the winding path of Poso Creek, illustrating the transition from the rugged highlands of Iron Mtn to the alluvial canyons of the Adobe Canyon and Granite Canyon.
