1943 Map of Cuyama Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Cuyama Valley landscape documented here during the early 1940s reveals a sparse network of ranching outposts along the wide, braided path of the Cuyama River. The settlement of Ventucopa serves as a central point in this arid corridor, flanked by established homesteads including the Wycoff Ranch and Le Vezu Ranch. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high elevations of the Los Padres National Forest, where drainage systems like Quatal Canyon and Ballinger Canyon carve deep into the surrounding heights. Genealogists and local historians can trace the early 20th-century footprint of the region through family-named landmarks such as Monreal Ranch and Ogan Ranch, while the presence of the Cuyama Ranger Sta and a Lookout Tower near the summit of Cuyama Peak highlights the importance of fire surveillance in these remote coastal mountains.
