About this map

La Panza Ranch sits at the heart of this inland landscape where the San Juan Valley transitions into the upland canyons of eastern San Luis Obispo County. The territory is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal waterways, including the winding San Juan Creek and the drainage of Navajo Cr. To the south, the map extends into the protected boundary of the Los Padres National Forest, where the terrain becomes increasingly complex.

Vital water sources are distributed throughout the hills, marked by features such as Carnaza Spring, Sixteen Spring, and Willow Spring. The connectivity of this ranching and forest land is traced by primitive routes like Navajo Creek Rd and Lewis Ranch Rd, which follow the natural contours of Sandy Canyon and Cedar Canyon. This survey captures the remote character of the region as it existed in 2018, emphasizing the relationship between historic ranching tracts and federally managed lands.
