2015 Map of Peak Mountain

About this map

McPherson Peak and Peak Mtn dominate the high ridges of the Sierra Madre Mountains in this 2015 study of the borderlands between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The northern portion of the map covers the Cuyama Valley, where the Cuyama River winds through the flats alongside Wasioja Rd. Much of the southern terrain is protected within the Los Padres National Forest, a landscape defined by deep drainages like Wellman Canyon and Stovall Canyon. This modern digital topographic survey illustrates the remote water sources vital to the region, identifying scattered points such as Hog Pen Spring, Johnston Spring, and Buck Opening Spring. The map traces the winding course of Sierra Madre Rd as it follows the highest ridgelines, providing a clear view of the complex canyons that drop away from the peaks.
