About this map

Ojai sits at the foot of the Topatopa Mountains, where the modern landscape transitions from the developed Ojai Valley to the protected expanse of the Los Padres National Forest. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the valley floor and the surrounding heights of Nordhoff Ridge and Sulphur Mountain. Water management is central to the area's geography, visible in the Senior Canyon Reservoir and Lion Canyon Reservoir, which serve the agricultural and residential needs of the valley.

The map reveals a network of canyons including Gridley Canyon and Sisar Canyon, many of which are accessible by historical paths like the Gridley Trail and Foothill Trail. The presence of Sulphur Spring and Wilsie Spring highlights the natural hydrology that has long defined this part of Ventura County. In the south, the Upper Ojai Valley is separated from the main basin by a series of ridges, with landmarks like Black Mountain providing a backdrop to rural routes such as Old Hwy 150 and Ojai Santa Paula Road.
