1952 Map of Woody
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Granite Station and the settlement of Woody anchor this survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills in Kern County, revealing a landscape defined by ranching and early resource extraction. The topography is deeply incised by drainages such as Rag Gulch and Poso Creek, where the presence of the Round Mountain Oil Field and scattered Oil Tanks indicates the industrial footprint of the era. Genealogists will find a wealth of named homesteads, including the Villard Ranch, Carlton Ranch, and Manny Ranch, reflecting the distributed nature of local land ownership.
