2015 Map of Lime Mountain

About this map

Lake Nacimiento dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its winding fingers reaching into the foothills of the Santa Lucia Range. The terrain is characterized by complex drainages including Snake Cr, Dip Cr, and Las Tablas Cr, which carve through the high elevations near Lime Mtn. The settlement of Klau sits in the southeast, historically significant for its proximity to local mineral deposits and ranching operations. Modern residential developments are evident near the lakeshore, traced by roads like Heritage Rd and Shoreline Dr. Further inland, the map preserves the names of older rural connections such as Gallegos Ranch Rd and Cow Camp Loop, illustrating the transition from traditional high-country ranching to a landscape centered on the reservoir. The southwestern corner is marked by the steep descent of McLaughlin Canyon, highlighting the topographic variety of the San Luis Obispo County interior.
