About this map

Big Pine Mountain stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation backcountry within Santa Barbara County. This 2012 survey illustrates a remote network of trails and Forest Service roads, including Big Pine Rd, which provides the primary access to the region's isolated peaks and drainage basins. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sisquoc River and Indian Cr, which carve through deep canyons like Logan Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon.

The distribution of small wilderness outposts such as Bluff Camp Forest Service Facility and a series of primitive camps, including The Pines Campground and Bear Campground, reflects the area's role as a protected forest interior. Landmarks like Samon Peak and Mission Pine Basin serve as primary points of interest for those navigating the San Rafael Wilderness, where the seasonal flow of Coche Cr and Grapevine Cr dictates the local geography.
