2021 Map of Branch Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Los Padres National Forest contains this high-elevation landscape in eastern San Luis Obispo County, where the La Panza Range meets the Los Machos Hills. This 2021 survey documents an intricate network of ridgelines and canyons, most notably Brown Canyon and Thirtyfive Canyon, which drain into seasonal watercourses like San Juan Cr. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Sulphur Spring, Jack Spring, and Dutchman Spring, indicates the importance of these points for both wildlife and livestock in an otherwise arid terrain. Remote access is defined by specialized routes like the Aveneles Branch Mountain Rd and the Jack Springs Trl, which connect high points like Branch Mtn and Pilitas Mtn to the plateau of Tajea Flat.
