About this map

The La Panza Range dominates the southern portion of this landscape, rising to peaks like Black Mtn within the protected boundaries of the Los Padres National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named water sources, such as Fernandez Spring, Wild Horse Spring, and Blue Oak Spring, which reflect the arid character of this part of San Luis Obispo County.

Settlement is concentrated at the Camatta Ranch, which includes a private Camatta Ranch Airstrip near the junction of Camatta Creek Rd and Shell Creek Rd. The map illustrates a transition from the narrow defiles of Upton Canyon and Tin Pan Canyon in the north to the broader alluvial paths of Shell Cr and Navajo Cr. This area remains largely ranch land and forest, with few paved improvements beyond the network of forest routes and ranch roads.
