··· IMAGE ···
This image comes from a very old tourism brochure (likely 1920's) for Vasquez Rocks, just outside of Los Angeles, California. The rocks get their name from Tiburcio Vásquez, one of California's most notorious Mexican bandidos, who used these rocks in 1874 to elude capture by law enforcement. As the film industry in Los Angeles grew, the site's sparse landscape became especially popular. The distinct formations appeared in Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, MacGyver, Bonanza, The Lone Ranger and The Twilight Zone, among others. One of the most famous scenes is from the original Star Trek series, where Captain Kirk fights the alien Gorn. The land and rock formations were acquired gradually by Los Angeles County, beginning with a donation of 40 acres in 1971, with more parcels being added through 2001. Vasquez Rocks was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
