1991 Map of Lockwood Valley

About this map

Lockwood Valley serves as a high-altitude drainage basin within the Los Padres National Forest during the late twentieth century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding Amargosa Creek, Lockwood Creek, and Piru Creek. Resource extraction and land management are visible through various prospect sites and a borrow pit near Lockwood Valley Road, reflecting the ongoing utility of this mountainous region. Settlement is sparse, represented by managed recreation areas such as Halfmoon Campground and Snedden Campground. The geography transitions from the flat expanse of Mutau Flat to the prominent heights of Lockwood Peak, while Grade Valley provides a natural corridor through the surrounding peaks. This 1991 edition captures the area after several decades of forest management and early resource exploration.
