2018 Map of Cholame

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a visible path through this portion of San Luis Obispo County, marking the transition between the Cholame Hills and the Cholame Valley. The small settlement of Cholame sits at the junction of critical local routes, including Davis Rd, while the town of Shandon occupies the southwest corner of the map. Significant water management is evident in the presence of the Governor Edmund G Brown Coastal Br California Aqueduct, which traverses the San Juan Valley alongside the winding San Juan Cr. For those researching local families, the Shandon Cem is located just north of the town site along Cemetary Rd. The landscape is further defined by numerous named canyons such as McMillan Canyon, Palo Prieto Canyon, and Hopper Canyon, which drain the uplands toward the central valleys.
