The Devil's Doorway was a significant rock feature on the Iverson Movie Location Ranch in Chatsworth, California, and has appeared in dozens of B-Western movies.
The photo above is the north side of Devil's Doorway as it appears today in the Cal-West Townhomes development. As you can see the rock formation was a natural archway.
