About this map

Agricultural lands and industrial sites define this Central Coast landscape between San Luis Obispo Co. and the growing coastal communities. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the northwestern corner near the settlement of Edna, while the southern reaches show the early residential expansion of Grover City and Pismo Beach. The map details a transition from the coastal hills to the eastern wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest, marked by rugged landmarks like Bald Mtn and Slide Hill.

Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, with numerous Oil Wells scattered near Tiber Canyon and a Sandpit in the vicinity of Deer Canyon. Local education and community life are anchored by landmarks such as Independence Sch, Los Ranchos Sch, and St Patricks Sch. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding paths of Arroyo Grande Creek and Corral de Piedra Creek, which navigate a complex system of valleys including Corralitos Valley and Cañada Verde.
