2018 Map of Sacate

About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this coastal quadrangle, where steep ridges descend toward the Pacific Ocean. This stretch of the Santa Barbara coastline is defined by a series of narrow canyons, or cañadas, that cut through the terrain to the sea, including Cañada Del Coyote and Cañada de Santa Anita. Small settlements like San Augustine and Sacate are situated along the narrow coastal shelf, where the Southern Pacific railroad historically facilitated movement through this isolated region. The presence of Hollister Ranch Rd and Rancho Real underscores the area's long-standing ranching tradition. Waterways such as Arroyo San Agustin and Arroyo El Bulito drain the southern slopes of the mountains, tracing the natural contours that have dictated the placement of roads and homesteads for generations.
