2015 Map of Miranda Pine Mountain

About this map

Los Padres National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The Cuyama River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, carving the Cuyama Valley beneath high ridgelines like Sycamore Ridge and Twin Rocks. The southern reaches are defined by the high elevations of the Sierra Madre Mountains, where prominent summits such as Miranda Pine Mtn and Timber Peak overlook a complex network of drainages. The distribution of named springs, including Miranda Pine Spring and Plowshare Spring, highlights the critical nature of water sources in this high-elevation terrain. This 2015 update captures the land as a significant corridor of protected wilderness and rugged topography, where features like Pine Flat and Porter Peak provide distinct landmarks for navigation and local history.
