1965 Map of Lopez Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Santa Lucia Wilderness and Los Padres National Forest dominate this rugged coastal interior, where steep canyons and sharp peaks define the landscape northeast of San Luis Obispo. In the north, the Salinas River winds through the canyons near Fivemile Bridge, while the headwaters of Lopez Creek and Corral de Piedra Creek carve through the southern ridges. The presence of the Sulphur Pots near Gay Mtn and the distinct peak of Mt Lowe suggest a geography shaped by geological diversity and remote natural springs. This terrain, marked by notable features like Big Falls and Black Butte, highlights the transition from the cultivated valleys near the coast to the high wilderness of the Santa Lucia Range. Settlement is sparse, limited to the fringes of the mountains and the Santa Margarita Lake area, leaving the interior largely defined by natural landmarks like Pine Ridge and Lopez Mtn.
