2012 Map of Bryson

About this map

Sapaque Valley forms a central geographical corridor through this part of the California Coast Ranges, where the settlement of Bryson sits at the junction of Sapaque Rd and Copperhead Rd. The map illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal drainages like Turtle Cr and Copperhead Cr flowing toward the larger reservoirs that anchor the northern and southern edges of the quadrangle. In the north, the shoreline of Lake San Antonio is visible near the Pleyto Cemetary Rd, while the southern reaches are dominated by the fingers of Lake Nacimiento. Ranching legacy is evident at Smith Ranch, while the name The Cantinas suggests localized history along the water. Significant elevation changes are marked by Bald Mountain in the northwest, overlooking the Nacimiento River as it winds toward Grizzly Bend.
