About this map

The city of Atascadero serves as the central hub of this 2018 survey, where the historic El Camino Real corridor meets a network of local roads including Pueblo Ave and Curbaril Ave. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the protected lands of the Los Padres National Forest, a terrain of high points like Eagle Peak and Tassajera Peak. The map captures the transition from the structured residential blocks near Atascadero Lake to the more dispersed settlements of Paradise Valley and Henry further north.

Water plays a vital role in defining the local geography, with the Salinas River and Atascadero Creek carving paths through the valley. Local history is anchored by the Atascadero Pine Mountain Cemetery and distinct geological features such as Rocky Gorge and Devils Gap. The presence of several springs, including Willow Spring and Bello Spring, indicates the importance of local water sources for these communities positioned between the forest and the river.
