1995 Map of Apache Canyon

About this map

The Chumash Wilderness dominates the rugged interior of the Los Padres National Forest in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the San Emigdio Mountains and a series of deep drainages including Apache Canyon, Quatal Canyon, and Long Canyon. A distinct social and industrial presence is noted at the Kern County Industrial Road Camp in the northern section, situated near the Apache Potrero. This map serves as a vital record of the wilderness boundary and the network of primitive four-wheel-drive tracks that traverse the high country. Resource management is evident through the placement of Water Tanks and protected water sources such as Blue Rock Spring and Mystery Spring. The transition from the San Emigdio Mesa into the canyon systems illustrates the complex topography of the Ventura and Kern County line.
