2021 Map of Carpinteria

About this map

Carpinteria and its coastal neighbors are detailed here at a moment of significant 21st-century residential and institutional development. The map illustrates the narrow coastal shelf where the Union Pacific railroad and major roadways parallel the shoreline, connecting settlements like Summerland, Serena, and Sandyland. This area is defined by the steep rise of the Santa Ynez Mountains, where the landscape transitions abruptly from suburban streets to the protected acreage of the Los Padres National Forest.
