1959 Map of San Marcos Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Santa Ynez Mountains define the southern expanse of this survey, where the Santa Ynez River carves a central path through the terrain. The landscape is a corridor of recreational and utility infrastructure within the Los Padres National Forest, featuring the San Marcos Sch and the Los Prietos Ranger Sta. Historical land use is evident in the San Marcos Ranch and various outposts like the Los Prietos Boys Camp. Transportation through the high country relies on routes like Paradise Road and Camino Cielo, which navigate a complex system of drainages including Redrock Canyon and Cold Spring Canyon. The presence of a Highway Maintenance Station and a Radio Range Station underscores the area's role as a vital mountain pass and communications link between the coast and the interior valley during the late 1950s.
