1967 Map of Pozo Summit

About this map

The La Panza Range and Garcia Mountain dominate this section of the Los Padres National Forest, where the headwaters of the Salinas River emerge. The small settlement of Pozo sits in a valley at the center of the sheet, served by the Pozo Sch and a nearby Landing Strip. The map reveals a landscape defined by rugged canyons and seasonal water sources, featuring numerous named springs like Big Spring, Douglas Spring, and American Canyon Spring. Recreation and early land use are evident through multiple established campsites, including Navajo Campground and Balm of Gilead Campground. The presence of several Prospect labels and a Gravel Pit indicates the historical interest in the geological resources of the high country, while a network of jeep trails and the Pozo Summit pass highlight the era's primary transportation routes through the wilderness.
