2021 Map of Santa Margarita Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Los Padres National Forest covers much of this landscape, where the southern reaches of the Salinas River carve through the coastal mountains of San Luis Obispo County. The settlement of Pozo sits at a crossroads in the east, serving as a gateway to the high country of the La Panza Range. The map reveals a sophisticated network of springs essential for life in this arid environment, including Hi Mountain Spring, McNeil Spring, and the two Salsipuedes Spring locations. Historical land use is visible in the named flats and potreros, such as Magetti Flats and Hi Mtn Potrero, which suggest seasonal grazing or homesteading sites. A complex system of trails, including the Big Falls Trl and Rinconada Trl, provides access to landmarks like Garcia Mtn and the canyons of Salsipuedes Cr.
