2021 Map of Cuyama

About this map

The Cuyama Valley defines this portion of the California landscape, serving as a broad agricultural and transport corridor between the towering Caliente Range to the north and the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south. This 2021 survey shows the settlement of Cuyama situated along Highway 166, adjacent to the braided channels of the Cuyama River and the ephemeral drainage known as The Wash. The region's aviation and agricultural history is evident in the presence of Vosburgh Airfield and a systematic grid of rural routes like Foothill Rd and Kirschenmann Rd. The map documents the complex topography of the surrounding high country, including Quail Canyon and Olive Canyon, where numerous seasonal springs such as Willow Spring dot the arid terrain.
