About this map

Los Padres National Forest contains the high-elevation terrain of eastern Ventura County, where significant peaks and drainages define the landscape. The summit of Alamo Mtn dominates the central portion of this sheet, serving as a hub for various seasonal watercourses including Snowy Cr and Alamo Cr. To the north and south, the topography transitions into notable flats and canyons, such as Gleason Flat and Long Dave Valley, which offer a stark contrast to the surrounding steep ridges of Bear Mtn and Sewart Mtn.

The road network is primarily composed of forest routes like Gold Hill Rd and Forest Rte 8n01, reflecting the area's primary use for land management and recreation. The drainage patterns of Piru Cr and its tributaries, including Smith Fork and Frazier Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of the Transverse Ranges. Notable landmarks like Gold Hill and McDonald Peak provide essential reference points for navigating this protected wilderness area.
