2018 Map of Oat Mountain

About this map

The Santa Susana Mountains dominate this 2018 survey, serving as a dramatic natural divider between the growing suburban reaches of Los Angeles and the northern communities of Santa Clarita. The map details a complex intersection of geography and infrastructure, where the Pacific Tunnel and Santa Susana Tunnel pierce through the high ridges to maintain vital rail connections. To the south, the grid of Chatsworth and Granada Hills pushes against the foothills, marked by local landmarks like the unique rock formations at Stony Point and the Garden of the Gods. This area preserves a mix of dense residential planning and rugged open spaces, including Mission Point and the steep drainages of Browns Canyon. To the north, the historic settlement of Newhall sits near the San Fernando Pass, illustrating the enduring importance of these mountain gaps for California transport corridors.
