About this map

Bardsdale and the Santa Clara River corridor anchor the northern reaches of this Ventura County landscape, where agriculture meets the foothills of Oak Ridge. The transition from the alluvial plains of the Little Simi Valley to the uplifted Las Posas Hills is clearly marked by the winding routes of Arroyo Simi and Arroyo Las Posas. In the early 21st century, these drainage patterns continue to dictate the placement of established settlements like Somis and the residential clusters of Moorpark Home Acres.

Evidence of historical land divisions remains visible through the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t3n r20w and t3n r19w. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies the Bardsdale Cem and the smaller hamlets of Lagol, Epworth, and Fairview. The rugged topography of Grimes Canyon and South Mtn provides a sharp contrast to the developed valleys below, where streets like Williams Ranch Rd and Broadway Rd mark the modern footprint of the area.
