1995 Map of Atascadero

About this map

Atascadero serves as the focal point of this mid-1990s survey, where the suburban development of the Asuncion Grant meets the wild northern reaches of Los Padres National Forest. The map shows a community defined by its civic institutions and recreational spaces, from the sprawling grounds of the Atascadero State Hospital to the central Atascadero Lake Park, which houses the Charles Paddock Zoo. The landscape is characterized by the Salinas River valley on the east and the high peaks of the Santa Lucia Range to the southwest, including the notable Cerro Alto and Eagle Peak.
