2015 Map of Carpinteria

About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this coastal California study, where steep canyons such as Romero Canyon and Toro Canyon descend toward the Pacific Ocean. This area of Santa Barbara County reflects a dense network of suburban development and agricultural heritage, centered on the city of Carpinteria and the hillside communities of Montecito and Summerland. The map illustrates the region's topographical transition from the high ridges of the Los Padres National Forest, reaching over 3,000 feet at Romero Saddle, down to the coastal shelf and the wetlands near Sandyland Cove.
