1964 Map of New Cuyama

South of the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into the Los Padres National Forest, where the Branch Canyon Campground and various springs like Sulphur Spring suggest a transition to more recreational and wilderness land use. The map also delineates the historic land grant of the Heirs of Cesario Lataillade, illustrating how mid-19th-century property boundaries persisted into the modern era of industrial oil exploration, evidenced by numerous drill holes and water tanks scattered across the foothills.
