Historical place. Still need verification of exact dimension and location.

An ideal setting for Westerns, the 500-acre Iverson Movie Ranch also found its calling in science-fiction movies, war epics and tales of distant lands such as Africa and Arabia. It is the site where Republic Pictures made virtually all of its serials and B-Westerns, and where countless outdoor action sequences were filmed by crews from Columbia, Universal, Paramount, Fox, RKO, Monogram and just about every major production company of Hollywood's Golden Age. An estimated 3,000 film and television productions were shot at Iverson, dating back to the silent era.

"The world famous Iverson Movie Ranch is the most photographed location ranch in motion picture history. Situtated in the Santa Susanna Mountains in the northwest corner of Chatsworth, California, it has been used to simulate the terrains of Asia, Africa, the South Seas, the old west, and any other locale the studios could wish for."
