1953 Map of Sacate

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains rise sharply from the Pacific coastline in this mid-century survey, creating a landscape defined by deep ravines known as cañadas. Along the narrow coastal shelf, the Southern Pacific railroad follows the shore, serving small coastal points such as San Augustine and Sacate. This area reflects the transition from early Spanish land grant territories like Nuestra Señora Del Refugio and San Julian into the mid-twentieth century ranching era. Land use is centered around operations like the Santa Anita Ranch, while numerous watercourses including Cañada de Santa Anita and Cañada del Cementerio drain the southern slopes of the mountains into the Santa Barbara Channel. The map illustrates a period before significant modern coastal development, where transport and settlement were strictly dictated by the steep topography.
