1948 Map of Ranchito Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Deep drainage systems and the winding county line define this mid-century survey of the Central Coast interior. The landscape is dominated by a series of long, parallel valleys including Vineyard Canyon, Lowes Canyon, and Ranchito Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the southern plains. Human activity in this rural expanse is anchored by the Ellis Sch and numerous Windmill sites that mark the necessity of water management for local ranching operations. The Monterey Co San Luis Obispo Co boundary bisects the quadrangle, cutting across the rugged divides of Hog Canyon and Keyes Canyon. The Middle Fork provides a primary hydrological feature in the northern reaches, where the complex topography transitions into the higher ridges separating these significant canyon systems.
