2012 Map of Matilija

About this map

Lake Casitas dominates the southern landscape, its complex shoreline defined by the Station Canyon Arm, Wadleigh Arm, and Chumash Bay. This 2012 survey illustrates the dense residential clusters of the Ojai Valley, including Meiners Oaks, Mira Monte, and the historic neighborhoods of Arbolada and Ojai. The settlement pattern reflects the area's long-standing reliance on its natural water sources, with resorts and hamlets like Matilija Springs, Vickers Hot Springs, and Ojala following the course of the Ventura River and North Fork Matilija Creek.
