1995 Map of Alamo Mountain

About this map

Alamo Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Los Padres National Forest during the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a region transitioning from historic industrial uses to modern recreation and conservation, featuring the sprawling Sespe Wilderness and the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area. Evidence of earlier human activity is preserved through various archaeological sites and ruins, such as the Harris Mill (Site), Lexington (Site), and the Schmidt Ranch (Site). These landmarks, alongside numerous unnamed Mines and Prospects, point to a legacy of resource extraction in the mountains of Ventura County. A complex network of waterways, including Piru Creek and the dramatic Piru Falls, carves through the terrain between peaks like Sewart Mountain and McDonald Peak, while the Miller Jeep Trail provides access through the backcountry.
