1959 Map of San Rafael Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Lake Cachuma dominates the central landscape of this 1959 survey, its waters held by the Cachuma Dam and reaching into Cachuma Bay and Santa Cruz Bay. The map captures the rugged interior of the Los Padres National Forest during a period of transition, where old ranching boundaries like Rancho San Marcos and Rancho Tepuepis intersect with modern recreational and utility developments. In the south, the Santa Ynez River flows toward the reservoir, flanked by Paradise Road and the Marcos Sch. High ridgelines are dotted with backcountry landmarks such as Figueroa Mtn, San Rafael Mtn, and the Radio Facility near Santa Ynez Peak. Remote campsites like De la Guerra Camp and Mariana Camp provide insight into mid-century forest access, while the Bee Rock Quarry suggests the area's local industry. The map's detail includes numerous springs and canyon trails that trace the difficult terrain between Cachuma Village and the high peaks.
