1995 Map of Chimney Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Los Padres National Forest spans the transition between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, defined by a complex network of canyons and private inholdings. This 1995 revision reveals a landscape shaped by ranching history and the winding Cuyama River, where family-named sites like Glines Ranch and Permasse Ranch sit alongside historical boundaries of the Suey Grant. The terrain is deeply incised by Chimney Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon, reflecting a topography that necessitated specialized transit routes like the Old Sierra Madre Road and Tepusquet Road. Water remains the central concern for both land management and human settlement, evidenced by the numerous named springs such as Buck Cove Spring and the presence of a Gaging Station on the river. This survey preserves the exact placement of remote infrastructure, including a Quarry and Gravel Pit, marking the intersection of resource extraction and protected federal lands in the late twentieth century.
