1944 Map of Old Man Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Old Man Mountain stands as a central peak in this mid-century survey of the high backcountry within the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainage systems of Sespe Creek and Matilija Creek, reflecting a wilderness area managed for water and wildlife preservation. A notable human footprint is found at the Upper Hartman Ranch along the northern reaches of Sespe Creek, while the presence of the Game Refuge in the southeast corner indicates the era's focus on conservation and forest management. The boundary between Santa Barbara and Ventura counties cuts vertically through the map, passing through high ridges like Monte Arido Montecito. This 1944 edition, prepared by the U.S. Forest Service under the direction of the Corps of Engineers, details a network of canyons including Agua Caliente Canyon and Diablo Canyon, with remote landmarks such as La Carpa Spring serving as vital water sources.
