About this map

Soda Lake dominates the northern alkali flats of this 1962 survey, which documents a remote ranching and petroleum-focused landscape along the border of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The central and southern portions of the map reveal a significant industrial presence within the Cuyama Valley, specifically the Russell Ranch Oil Field, Taylor Canyon Oil Field, and Morales Canyon Oil Field. This concentration of drilling sites, interspersed with high-desert landmarks like Painted Rock, illustrates the mid-century energy development that defined the region.
