2015 Map of Burro Mountain

About this map

Ragged Point serves as a prominent coastal landmark where the steep slopes of the Santa Lucia Range meet the Pacific Ocean. This 2015 survey details the vertical landscape of the Los Padres National Forest, a region defined by sharp ridgelines like Thorndyke Top and Salmon Head that separate deep drainages. The map captures the boundary between Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, highlighting the transition from high peaks such as Burro Mtn down to the San Carpoforo Valley. Within these canyons, numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses flow toward the coast, including Villa Cr, Salmon Cr, and San Carpoforo Cr. Small local features like School Spring and White Rock Number One offer specific points of interest for those tracing the more remote corners of the Central Coast, while summits like Mt Mars and Lion Peak dominate the interior topography.
