1948 Map of Lime Mountain

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this late-1940s landscape, where steep canyons and complex drainage systems define the San Luis Obispo backcountry. The Nacimiento River winds across the northern section of the map, fed by a network of seasonal tributaries including Las Tablas Creek and Snake Creek. This period shows the region before major modern developments, with a reliance on unimproved dirt roads and trails through the high country.
