About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains define this coastal landscape, where the southern reaches of the range descend toward the Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals a complex drainage system flowing through the Lompoc Hills, led by Salsipuedes Cr and its tributaries such as El Jaro Cr and Escondido Cr. The Santa Ynez River skirts the northern edge of the terrain near the White Hills, marking a significant hydrologic boundary in the region.

Land use is concentrated around the Jalama Ranch in the southern portion of the quadrangle, with Jalama Rd providing the primary corridor through the steep terrain. The presence of Sulphur Spring and Big Spring suggests the importance of natural water sources in this dry, uplifted environment. Notable high points like Sudden Peak and La Tinta Hill overlook the deep La Tinta Basin, illustrating the dramatic topographic relief typical of the Santa Barbara County coastline.
