2012 Map of Carpinteria

About this map

Ortega Hill and the adjacent Santa Barbara Polo Grounds anchor this coastal landscape where the Santa Ynez Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This 2012 edition documents the complex water infrastructure essential to the region, featuring the Doulton Tunnel and its North Portal and South Portal, which convey water through the mountain range. Moving inland, the survey shows the educational and religious presence of Immaculate Heart College and the College of the Queen of Peace Jesuit Novitiate nestled in the foothills. Along the shoreline, residential enclaves like Sandyland Cove and Franciscan Village sit near the traditional center of Old Town. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the wilder terrain of the Los Padres National Forest, including Jameson Lake and the Blue Canyon Pass, highlighting the sharp transition from manicured polo fields to steep mountain canyons.
