About this map

Los Alamos sits at the northern end of this Santa Barbara County landscape, situated within the Los Alamos Valley where San Antonio Cr flows. The settlement's footprint is clearly defined by its street grid, including Bell St and Coiner St, with the Los Alamos Cem located just to the south. The topography is dominated by several significant ridges and drainages, most notably the Purisima Hills and the Santa Rita Hills, which frame the lowlands of the Santa Rita Valley.

Branching out from the valley floor are numerous named canyons that reveal the complex geography of the region, such as Drum Canyon, Crawford Canyon, and the distinctively named Cañada de las Calaveras. Rural transit across these hills is traced through a network of local routes like Drum Canyon Rd and Hapgood Rd. The map also captures several high points, including Redrock Mountain, offering a detailed view of the natural divides between the coastal interior's agricultural and pastoral lands.
