2021 Map of Santa Margarita

About this map

Santa Margarita and the community of Garden Farms occupy a landscape where the coastal ranges meet the headwaters of the Salinas River. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern intersection of historic ranching lands and critical infrastructure, most notably the path of the Governor Edmund G Brown Coastal Br California Aqueduct as it traverses the terrain near Chalk Hill. The map detail traces the transition from the relatively flat Miller Flat to the higher elevations of Granite Ridge and Calf Canyon. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the inclusion of the Santa Margarita Cem and the small settlement at Cushing, alongside specialized landmarks like the Hart Ranch Airport and various branches of Middle Branch Huerhuero Creek.
