About this map

Devils Heart Peak and Topatopa Peak dominate this section of the Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage of Sespe Cr, where several seasonal and year-round water sources such as Sespe Hot Springs and Dripping Springs are located. High-elevation flats and basins including Cottriel Flat, Pigeon Flat, and Grassy Flat break the steep canyon walls and ridges.

A network of remote trails and forest roads connects these peaks and canyons, tracing the paths of Agua Blanca Cr and W Fork Sespe Cr. The presence of named landmarks like Bucksnort Spring and Borracho Spring highlights the historical importance of water management for wilderness travelers and forestry workers in this part of the Transverse Ranges. This survey details the complex topography and drainage systems before later changes in forest access or fire history.
