Santa Maria and the Santa Maria Valley anchor the northern landscape of this Central Coast survey, revealing an era when resource extraction and ranching were the primary economic drivers. Early industrial activity is recorded through the Union Oil Wells near Divide and an Asphaltum Mine near Sisquoc. The presence of the Pacific Coast Ry and the Southern Pacific RR underscores the importance of rail in connecting these coastal valleys to wider markets.
