About this map

The Santa Clara River valley and the high, canyon-riven ridges of the Los Padres National Forest dominate this 2012 survey. Centered on the community of Piru, the map illustrates a landscape where agricultural heritage and industrial extraction coexist. To the west, the Buckhorn area and Lankershim Estate mark historical landholdings, while the east reveals the grounds of Camulos. The northern half of the quadrangle is defined by steep drainage systems like Piru Canyon and Hopper Canyon, leading toward the heights of Hopper Mountain.

Resource utilization is evident in the Eureka Canyon Oil Field and the waters of Lake Piru, which sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet. Local genealogy interests are supported by the inclusion of the Piru Cem and several family-named landmarks, including Dominguez Ranch, Karlyn Ranch, and Stephen Ranch. This modern survey provides an exact record of the road network, including Piru Canyon Rd and E Guiberson Rd, as they navigate the complex topography of the Transverse Ranges.
