About this map

Adelaida serves as the focal point for this survey of the California Coast Ranges, located in a landscape defined by the intricate drainages of San Marcos Creek and Las Tablas Cr. The map details the rural character of San Luis Obispo County, where steep topography is navigated by a network of winding roads like Peachy Canyon Rd and Vineyard Dr. To the north, the waters of Lake Nacimiento reach into the canyons, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding ridges and peaks such as Chimney Rock.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Adelaida Cem and the small airfield at Mc Millan Airport particularly notable. The map reflects a region of viticulture and ranching, evidenced by the numerous small creeks like Mustard Cr and Snake Cr that carve through the hillsides. This modern survey maintains the original cadastral grid lines, illustrating the intersection of historic land divisions with contemporary infrastructure.
