About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this coastal stretch, where steep ridges descend toward the Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals a series of narrow coastal canyons, locally known as cañadas, which dictate the placement of local roads and small settlements. At the water's edge, the small locales of San Augustine, Sacate, and Drake represent the primary points of human activity, situated where drainages like Arroyo San Agustin meet the shoreline.

A network of rural roads, including Ranch Real and De La Cresta Rd, navigates the complex terrain of the foothills. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle, from Cañada De Santa Anita to Cañada Del Pescado, reflect the deep cultural history of these land grants. The map provides a clear record of the interface between the high ridges of the interior and the narrow, developed strip along the Santa Barbara coast.
