About this map

The La Panza Range dominates this portion of Los Padres National Forest, where high elevations like La Panza Summit and Pozo Summit overlook a landscape carved by canyons and intermittent springs. Ranching history and early mountain access are evident in the placement of Avenales Ranch Rd and the corridor of the Salinas River as it winds through the southern extent of the survey.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks such as Garcia Mtn and Sellars Portrero, alongside geographic markers like Las Chiches and Pine Mtn. The map preserves the names of vital water sources in this arid terrain, including Agua Spring, Big Spring, and American Canyon Spring, which were essential for both early travelers and cattle operations. Transportation is defined by winding routes like E Pozo Rd and Pozo Rd, connecting the scattered canyons and flats of this remote California backcountry.
