About this map

Old Man Mtn and Monte Arido dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Los Padres National Forest, marking the boundary between Santa Barbara Co and Ventura Co. The drainage patterns of the Santa Ynez Mountains are clearly defined by the branching waters of Matilija Creek and Sespe Creek, with deep incisions at Agua Caliente Canyon and Diablo Canyon.

Remote land management is the primary focus of this area, evidenced by the presence of La Carpa Spring and the restricted access routes like Upper Hartman Ranch Rd. The survey provides a detailed look at the crests of the Three Sisters and the transition into Murietta Canyon near the southern edge. This map serves as an essential record of the interior wilderness, where named peaks and canyons provide the only fixed points in a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and natural waterways.
