About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains define the southern landscape of this Santa Barbara County terrain, where deep canyons and coastal ridges converge near the Pacific. The elevation climbs from the Santa Ynez River in the north toward prominent heights like Sudden Peak and La Tinta Hill. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex watershed network, with Salsipuedes Cr and San Miguelito Cr carving through the uplifted strata of the White Hills.

Remote coastal access is traced via Jalama Rd and Jalama Beach Rd, which wind through the southern peaks toward the shoreline. The map reveals the hydrology of the interior basins, including Big Spring and Sulphur Spring, which historically supported ranching and transit through these high passes. The topographical detail also highlights the isolated La Tinta Basin and the distinct ridgeline of Cherry Ridge, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography.
