USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Los Padres National Forest spans this portion of the La Panza Range, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal creek beds and numerous named springs. High points like Pilitas Mtn and Branch Mtn overlook deep drainages including Thirtyfive Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon. The terrain is marked by notable geological features such as the Big Rocks in the southwest and the expansive Tajea Flat. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are meticulously documented with labels for Sulphur Spring, Jack Spring, and Dutchman Spring. Remote access is provided by a network of specialized routes like Branch Mountain Rd and Taylor Well Rd, reflecting the area's history of forest management and backcountry exploration.
