About this map

Los Padres National Forest encompasses this wilderness area where the Sierra Madre Mountains meet the San Rafael Mountains. The drainage system is defined by the Sisquoc River in the north and Manzana Cr to the south, creating a complex network of deep ravines including Burro Canyon, Wellman Canyon, and Big Bend Canyon.

High points like Wheat Peak and Bald Mtn overlook a landscape largely devoid of modern development, preserved instead for its natural terrain. Access is limited to routes such as Forest Rte 8N01 and Sunset Valley road, which lead toward seasonal water sources like Fish Cr, Davy-Brown Cr, and the Sulphur Spring Canyon. The map provides a detailed look at the township and range boundaries that partitioned this territory long before it was integrated into the national forest system.
