1991 Map of Lockwood Valley

About this map

Los Padres National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, providing a detailed view of the high-country wilderness in Ventura County during the late 1980s. The map illustrates the convergence of several major drainage systems, including Piru Creek, Mutau Creek, and Amargosa Creek, which carve through the high elevations of Lockwood Valley. Human activity is concentrated around recreational outposts and ranching infrastructure, such as Halfmoon Campground, Snedden Campground, and various Corrals scattered across the valley floor. Evidence of resource extraction and geological study is visible through several marked Prospect sites, a Borrow Pit, and a Drill Hole located near Grade Valley. Notable peaks like Lockwood Peak and the expansive Mutau Flat define the topography, while a remote Landing Strip in the northwest corner highlights the area's isolation.
