2018 Map of Peak Mountain

About this map

Rancho Cuyama and the high peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains define this landscape in north-central Santa Barbara County. The terrain is marked by a transition from the Cuyama River valley floor, where 166 follows the riverbed, into the steep ascent toward Peak Mtn and McPherson Peak. This area, largely within the Los Padres National Forest, is characterized by a series of deep canyons such as Wellman Canyon and Davis Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, evidenced by named springs like Richardson Spring, Heath Spring, and Hog Pen Spring. The map also identifies the northwestern reach of Edwards AFB and the boundary line separating Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, offering a clear view of the complex topography and jurisdictional lines in this part of California.
