About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this portion of the Los Padres National Forest in Monterey County, where high peaks and deep drainages define the landscape. The Nacimiento River winds through the central terrain, fed by numerous tributaries including Anthony Cr and San Miguel Cr. This map illustrates the vital water network of the region, featuring several remote water sources like Squirrel Spring and Basket Spring.

Evidence of human engineering in this wilderness is seen at the Lower Stony Cr Reservoir in Stony Valley, while Monterey Co Route G14 and the Nacimiento Fergusson Rd provide the primary access through the steep elevations. Rising to a prominent height, Alder Peak serves as a major landmark for the southern portion of the survey, overlooking the complex headwaters of Los Burros Cr and its northern fork.
