1949 Map of Burnett Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Santa Lucia Range topography dominates this mid-century survey, where the rugged border between Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties cuts through steep canyons and high ridges. Significant land use is defined by the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation and the Los Padres National Forest, illustrating a landscape preserved for military training and natural resources rather than civilian settlement. The Nacimiento River carves a path through the terrain, passing through a narrow constriction known as The Shut-in. Numerous seasonal drainages such as El Piojo Creek, Salmon Creek, and Burnett Creek feed the river system, while named high points like Burnett Peak, Crystal Knob, and Bald Mtn serve as landmarks across the complex ridgelines. Geologic features like The Palisades and Piedras Altas highlight the dramatic rock formations typical of this coastal range.
