2012 Map of Junipero Serra Peak

About this map

Junipero Serra Peak dominates this section of the Santa Lucia Mountains, serving as a primary landmark for the network of canyons and creeks that define the Monterey County interior. The landscape is marked by remote recreation sites and private holdings, including the Abbott Ranch and the Girl Scout Camp located near the Abbott Lakes. A series of campgrounds such as Hanging Valley Campground and Escondido Camp Ground are accessible via seasonal paths like Indians Rd, illustrating the area's long-standing use for wilderness exploration. The complex drainage systems of Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Cr carve through the high elevations near Bear Mountain and Pinyon Peak, while smaller tributaries like Roosevelt Cr and Pinal Cr trace the deep contours of the terrain. This 2012 survey captures the specialized infrastructure of the national forest, from named peaks to the specific fire roads and trails that traverse Woodtick Canyon.
