The narrow coastal shelf of Santa Barbara County is defined here by the meeting of the Los Padres National Forest and the Santa Barbara Channel. This 1940s-era topography illustrates a landscape constrained by geography, where the Southern Pacific railroad and Highway 101 parallel the shoreline through several cañadas and creek outlets. This corridor was the primary artery for transit between the Central Coast and Southern California, passing through the dramatic Gaviota Gorge.
