About this map

Ojai sits at the foot of the Los Padres National Forest, where the transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Nordhoff Pk is sharply defined by the Corporate Boundary. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a landscape deeply influenced by historical land tenure, showing the large tracts of the Ex Mission San Buenaventura Grant and the Canada Larga Verde Grant. These Spanish and Mexican era land divisions still influence property lines and road placements, such as Gridley Road and Grand Ave.

Educational institutions appear as central community landmarks, including the Thacher School near Thacher Creek and the San Antonio Sch to the east. The extraction industry is visible in the Upper Ojai Valley, where several Oil Wells and an Oil Tank are located near Sisar Creek. This documentation serves as a valuable record of the area's development before modern expansion shifted the character of the valley's outskirts.
