About this map

The San Emidio Ranch occupies the northern portion of this landscape, marking a transition from the lower valley floor into the steep rises of the San Emidio mountains. This 1991 survey shows an area defined by significant elevation changes, where the southern reaches are dominated by the Los Padres National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage system, with San Emidio Canyon Creek and Pleitito Creek carving deep paths through the Pleitito Hills.

Resource extraction and recreation coexist here, evidenced by the cluster of Oil Wells in the northern hills and the Marian Campground tucked away near Brush Mountain. The topography reaches its climax at Eagle Rest Peak, which anchors the southeastern corner. High ridges such as Blue Ridge and deep incisions like Williams Doc Canyon reveal a complex geological environment where water sources, represented by numerous unnamed springs, were critical for ranching and industry.
