About this map

Lake Casitas dominates the southern landscape of this Ojai Valley survey, its complex shoreline defined by fingers like Wadleigh Arm and Station Canyon Arm. The water's edge reaches toward the residential growth of Oak View and Live Oak Acres, while the primary settlement of Ojai sits to the east, bordered by the established neighborhoods of Arbolada and Meiners Oaks. The map reveals a transition from these valley floors to the steep slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains and Sulphur Mtn.

Within the Los Padres National Forest, the terrain is carved by the Ventura River and its tributaries, leading north toward Matilija Springs and the narrow passes of Rattlesnake Canyon. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Nordhoff Cem and the Saint Thomas Aquinas Cem, while landmarks such as Krotona Hill and Magic Mtn provide fixed points across the valley's distinct topography.
