1967 Map of Caldwell Mesa

About this map

Garcia Mountain and the southern ridges of the Los Padres National Forest dominate this mid-century topographic survey of rural San Luis Obispo County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Salinas River in the northeast and the Huasna River to the southwest, separated by a complex network of canyons and high ridges like Pine Ridge. The human presence here is sparse and primarily agricultural, marked by isolated homesteads and ranching outposts connected by a lattice of primitive paths including the Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails. Researchers will find significant genealogical value in the naming of specific family holdings and structures, such as Hathaway Place, Venados Ranch, and Records Ranch, which highlight the persistence of high-country ranching life. Landmark features like Bonnet Rock and the flat-topped Caldwell Mesa provide distinct navigational points within the difficult terrain of Huasna.
