About this map

Santa Rosa Creek cuts through the coastal mountains of San Luis Obispo County, providing a narrow valley for the development of Cambria, seen here divided into its primary districts. The map documents the residential spread of Lodge Hill and Marine Terrace toward the Pacific Ocean, while maintaining the distinct footprints of the West Village and East Village. This 2015 survey reveals a community deeply integrated with its geography, where the Santa Rosa Creek Trail and Dairy Trail navigate the steep slopes and historical agricultural lands once part of the local ranching economy.

To the south, the small community of Harmony stands along the banks of Ellusly Creek, situated at the convergence of Green Valley and Harmony Valley. Coastal landmarks such as Moonstone Beach and Leffingwell Cove mark the shoreline, while more inland features like Scott Rock and the peaks of the Santa Lucia Range define the rugged eastern boundary. Local history is anchored by the Cambria Cemetery and Santa Rosa Cemetery, which remain prominent landmarks on the hillsides above the town center.
