2022 Map of Ballinger Canyon

About this map

The Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge and Los Padres National Forest converge at this high-altitude junction of the Caliente Range and the San Emigdio Mountains. This landscape is defined by its complex network of canyons and gulches, including Devils Gulch and Cienaga Canyon, which drain the mountainous terrain. The map details a transition from the elevated ranges into the Cuyama Valley, revealing how transportation and conservation boundaries are dictated by the underlying topography.
