2015 Map of Los Alamos

About this map

Los Alamos sits at the confluence of several canyons and creek beds, serving as the primary hub for this portion of Santa Barbara County. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Purisima Hills and the Santa Rita Hills, which hem in fertile drainage areas like the Santa Rita Valley. Water management is central to the landscape's organization, with features such as San Antonio Cr, Cañada De Santa Rosa, and Cañada De Las Calaveras carving the topography. Local history is anchored at the Los Alamos Cem and along established routes such as Foxen Ln and Santa Rita Rd. This 2015 survey illustrates how the grid of Township and Range lines, specifically t7n r33w and t7n r32w, overlays a complex system of canyons including Drum Canyon and Crawford Canyon, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching patterns of the Central Coast region.
