2021 Map of San Luis Obispo

About this map

San Luis Obispo sits at the heart of this coastal valley landscape, surrounded by the distinctive volcanic peaks of the Nine Sisters including Bishop Peak, Cerro San Luis Obispo, Chumash Peak, and Cerro Romualdo. The city's mid-century growth is evident, bordered by the campuses of California Polytechnic State University and Cuesta College. The Southern Pacific RR tracks wind through the northern terrain near the Cuesta Pass, connecting small railroad points like Serrano and Thyle. To the northwest, the NG ITC Camp San Luis Obispo military installation occupies the land below the Irish Hills, while the Los Osos Valley stretches toward the coast. Local heritage is preserved at sites like the Mission Cem and Sutcliffe Cem, while the Los Padres National Forest anchors the northern rugged boundary.
