About this map

Lopez Mountain and the surrounding Santa Lucia Range define this high-country landscape just northeast of San Luis Obispo. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Sycamore Canyon and Big Falls Canyon, which feed into major waterways like the Salinas River and the southern reach of Santa Margarita Lake. This 2012 survey illustrates the connectivity between the coast and the interior, highlighting a network of forest routes and historic corridors including Old 101, W Pozo Rd, and the High Mountain Lookout Rd.

Remote landmarks such as the Sulphur Pots and Miller Flat offer specific points of interest for those tracking land use and natural resources in the county. The map detail extends to recreational and fire-management infrastructure, featuring the Upper Lopez Campground and various ridge-line roads like Mount Lowe Rd, providing a clear view of the complex topography between Mount Lowe and Bald Hill.
