1949 Map of Burro Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Santa Lucia Range peaks dominate this coastal survey of the Central Coast, where the high ridges of the Los Padres National Forest meet the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is defined by its administrative and topographical boundaries, featuring the western edge of the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation and the transition from Monterey County into San Luis Obispo County. Along the steep coastline, the map identifies specific maritime landmarks such as Ragged Point and Salmon Cone, while the interior is marked by elevations like Burro Mountain and Silver Peak. Human activity is concentrated around service and industry sites, including the Salmon Creek Ranger Sta and the Polar Star Mine (Abandoned) located near San Carpoforo Creek. This 1949 field check preserves the location of isolated features like a Lookout Tower on Three Peaks and the School Spr near the southern boundary.
