About this map

San Rafael Mountains terrain dominates this 1959 field-checked survey of the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is defined by its network of backcountry outposts and cattle ranching history, notably the Marre Ranch in the west and Cañada De Los Pinos Or College Ranch to the south. Transportation is limited to the winding Figueroa Mountain Road and numerous jeep trails that connect isolated points like Ranger Peak and Cachuma Saddle Guard Sta.

Resource extraction and mountain management are evident at the Redrock Mine and various prospects scattered near Cachuma Creek. High peaks such as Figueroa Mtn and Cachuma Mtn overlook deep drainages like Lion Canyon and Sunset Valley. These landmarks, along with established sites like De La Guerra Camp and Figueroa Camp, illustrate the mid-century intersection of public forest administration and private land holdings in the California coastal range.
