The Iverson Ranch's original western street was built for the
Gary Cooper film Along Came Jones (1945). When the movie was
finished, the set was left in place; subsequently it was added
to and used in many more movies and TV shows.
It was situated along the eastern edge of the ranch about half
a mile above Santa Susana Pass Road. Today a mobile home park
is on the old site.
In Black Hills (1948), the church was located on the south end
of town. Because it doesn't appear in every movie, it must have
been re-locatable as necessary.
The
orintation of the street was more or less north/south. In the
sceen shot above from Calamity Jane and the Texan (1950) you
can see Oat Mountain in the background.
