About this map

The Sierra Madre Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Los Padres National Forest. Centered on the prominent peak of Fox Mtn, the terrain is carved by a complex system of drainage basins including Santa Barbara Canyon and Castro Canyon. The northeast corner of the map drops into the Cuyama Valley, offering a stark contrast to the high ridges and deep ravines found further south.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by scattered points such as Olive Spring, Goode Spring, and Kendall Spring. Land management and access are dictated by a network of forest service routes, including Big Pine Rd and Forest Rte 8N19, which provide passage through areas like Cox Flat and Rainbow Canyon. This modern survey illustrates the enduring topography of the wilderness areas between the Cuyama and Santa Ynez watersheds.
