1965 Map of Woody
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Woody Ranch and the small settlement of Gordon define this mid-1960s landscape in Kern County, where the southern Sierra Nevada foothills meet agricultural valleys. The community centers around local landmarks like the Blue Mountain Cem and Blake Sch, reflecting the established rural life of the era. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Rag Gulch, Howling Gulch, and Nightingale Gulch, which drain toward the south and west. Connectivity through this hilly region is provided by the Garces Highway and various unimproved paths like the Jeep Trail. Evidence of the area's geological and communication utility is seen in the presence of a Mine near Mt Pheasant and a dedicated Radio Facility. High peaks such as Blue Mountain and Iron Mountain overlook grazing lands and flats like Dog Flat and Poso Flat.
