2015 Map of San Rafael Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
San Rafael Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Los Padres National Forest dominate this interior Santa Barbara County landscape. The topography is defined by deep drainages and prominent summits, including Santa Cruz Peak and McKinley Mtn. A network of water sources is critical to this arid environment, with numerous named points such as Live Oak Spring, McKinley Spring, and Cold Spring scattered throughout the canyons. Evidence of historical land use appears in Mine Canyon and its associated Mine Canyon Spring, while the hydrology of the region is shaped by the S Fork Sisquoc River and the W Fork Santa Cruz Cr. The map captures a largely roadless area where elevation changes rapidly from the La Jolla Basin up to the high ridges, providing a detailed record of the physical geography of the San Rafael Mountains.
