2015 Map of Junipero Serra Peak

About this map

Junipero Serra Peak dominates this section of the Santa Lucia Range within the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and drainage network, where the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Cr have carved deep canyons through the coastal mountains. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily accessible via primitive routes like Arroyo Seco Rd and Indians Rd, which skirt the northern and western edges of the steep terrain. Significant landmarks include Bear Mtn and Pinyon Peak, while smaller hydrology features such as Abbott Lakes and Hurst Run mark the complex watershed. The map provides clear evidence of the area's protected status, with few permanent structures and an emphasis on the natural geography of the central California coast.
