1964 Map of Little Pine Mountain

About this map

Gibraltar Reservoir serves as a focal point in this 1960s study of the Santa Ynez Mountains, where the Santa Ynez River meets engineered infrastructure including an Intake Tunnel and a Gaging Station. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Little Pine Mtn and Camuesa Peak, interconnected by a network of pack trails such as the Indian Creek Trail and Buckhorn Trail. This area within the Los Padres National Forest reveals a mix of recreational and industrial history, featuring several remote campsites like Red Rock Campground alongside the Gibraltar Mine. The topography illustrates the sharp drainage patterns of Devils Canyon and Camuesa Creek, providing a detailed look at the watershed management and wilderness access as they existed before 1970.
