About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area dominates this coastal landscape, showing a complex network of canyons and ridgelines. This modern survey details the transition from the interior communities of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village over the crest toward the Pacific shoreline. The rugged interior is marked by significant peaks like Ballard Mtn and Saddle Rock, while narrow drainages such as Lobo Canyon and Newton Canyon carve through the mountains. Along the coast, distinct residential enclaves like Malibu Vista, Trancas, and Mahou Riviera cluster near the shore, providing a clear picture of contemporary land use and development. Major hiking routes, including the California Coastal Trl and various segments of the Backbone Trail, offer a detailed look at the recreational infrastructure that defines the region today.
