1943 Map of Big Pine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Condor Sanctuary dominates the northern reaches of this 1943 survey, a protected landscape within the Los Padres National Forest before the era of intensive backcountry development. The map detail highlights the high-altitude topography of the San Rafael Mountains, centered on the 6,828-foot Big Pine Mtn. A network of remote administrative and recreational outposts is evident, from the West Big Pine Lookout to the Alamar Guard Sta and Bluff Camp. This era of management by the U.S. Forest Service is preserved in labels for isolated structures like Pelch Cabin and the secluded Mission Pine Basin. Water sources such as Sisquoc Falls and the headwaters of the Sisquoc River are precisely mapped, tracing the drainage patterns through Rattlesnake Canyon and Big Pine Canyon toward the Narrows.
