About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains dominate this 2015 survey, where the peaks of the California coast transition into a series of drainages leading toward the Pacific. The terrain is defined by the Lompoc Hills and White Hills, where the land is carved by numerous waterways including San Miguelito Cr and the larger Santa Ynez River to the north. These features illustrate the complex hydrology of Santa Barbara County, with named landmarks like Sulphur Spring and Big Spring emerging from the steep topography of La Tinta Basin.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and transit corridors is visible along Santa Rosa Rd and Coast Rd. The map provides a detailed record of the ridgelines, from Sudden Peak to Cherry Ridge, while following the course of Salsipuedes Cr as it winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This area south of Lompoc remains largely defined by its natural landforms and traditional land-use boundaries.
