About this map

Los Padres National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain along the border of Ventura and Kern counties, centered on the prominent rise of Alamo Mtn. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and seasonal water systems, including the headwaters of Piru Cr and the winding course of Agua Blanca Cr. These canyons and peaks provided the backdrop for early ranching and mining efforts in the Transverse Ranges, as evidenced by named features like Gold Hill and Bear Gulch.

A network of forest roads, including Gold Hill Rd and Forest Rte 8N01, provides the primary access through the complex topography of Long Dave Valley and Lockwood Flat. The map documents a rugged wilderness character where landmarks like McDonald Peak and Snowy Peak dominate the horizon, offering a clear view of the drainage patterns of Snowy Cr and Big Cedar Cr before they descend toward the Santa Clara River watershed.
