2012 Map of Pico Creek

About this map

The Pacific Ocean dominates this coastal survey, where the Santa Lucia Range foothills meet the Central California shore. The map centers on the drainage of Pico Cr and its tributary, S Fork Pico Cr, as they flow toward the sea near the prominent landmark of Pico Rock. Development is concentrated in a small residential corridor between San Simeon Rd and the coastline, featuring local streets such as Pico Ave and Avonne Ave. The settlement of The Oaks marks the southern extent of this coastal enclave. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Arroyo Del Padre Juan, which cuts through the bluffs just north of the community. This 2012 edition illustrates the sparse, preservation-oriented settlement pattern characteristic of this portion of San Luis Obispo County.
