About this map

Los Padres National Forest dominates this section of the coastal range where the Cuyama River carves a path through the northeastern corner. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, featuring the prominent Rancho Nuevo Cr and Tinta Creek which weave through deep canyons such as Deal Canyon and Bear Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain shaped by water, with vital water sources like La Jolla Springs and Oak Springs providing relief in the mountainous backcountry near Potrero Seco.

Transportation through this high-elevation area is limited to rugged routes including Potrero Seco Rd and the Pine Mtn Ridge Rd, which runs along the southern edge of the quadrangle near Pine Mtn. The survey provides a clear view of the wilderness character of the Santa Barbara Co and Ventura Co border, highlighting landmarks like the distinctive Lizard Head formation and the prominent Morro Hill.
