About this map

Hildreth Peak rises as the central topographical anchor for this mid-century survey of the Los Padres National Forest backcountry. The map details a landscape defined by deep drainages such as Agua Caliente Canyon and Mono Creek, which converge near historical markers of human activity like the Ogilvy Ranch. Further south, the Santa Ynez River corridor provides a hub for forest management and recreation, evidenced by the cluster of the Pendola Guard Station, Pendola Campground, and P-Bar Flats.

Remote springs, including Agua Caliente Spring and Little Caliente Spring, are reached by a network of pack trails and jeep trails that navigate the land grant of Los Prietos y Najalayegua. This 1964 field-checked map offers a precise look at the drainage patterns of the East Fork and North Fork Juncal Creek before later modifications to the watershed, capturing the established network of campgrounds and fire protection infrastructure used by the Forest Service during this era.
