1964 Map of Bald Mountain

About this map

San Rafael Mountains terrain dominates this portion of the Los Padres National Forest, where the deep drainage of the Sisquoc River separates Wheat Peak from the high ridges of the Hurricane Deck Trail. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Manzana Creek and Bald Mountain Canyon. Human presence is marked by isolated backcountry infrastructure, such as the Wellman Grave and several scattered Ruins that suggest earlier activity along the riverbanks. The mapping of a single Mine and various recreational sites like the Nira Campground and Coldwater Campground illustrates the forest's dual history of resource extraction and mid-century wilderness access. Travel through this area during the 1960s was limited to a few primitive routes, including the Jeep Trail and the Sisquoc River Trail.
