1953 Map of Sacate

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains rise sharply from the coastline of the Santa Barbara Channel, defining a landscape of deep coastal canyons and narrow alluvial plains. In the mid-twentieth century, this stretch of the Gaviota Coast was characterized by ranching operations and small railway stops along the Southern Pacific line. Significant landholdings such as Santa Anita Ranch and the lands of Nuestra Señora del Refugio dominate the topography, with numerous drainages like Cañada de Santa Anita and Cañada del Sacate cutting through the slopes toward the Pacific Ocean. Small settlements and points of interest including Sacate, Drake, and San Augustine are situated near the shore, while interior features such as a Sulphur Well and a Reservoir indicate the early infrastructure supporting the agricultural and ranching life in this part of Santa Barbara County.
