2021 Map of Santa Maria

About this map

The Santa Maria Valley serves as a central hub for agriculture and transit in this modern 2021 study, anchored by the significant urban footprint of Santa Maria. The landscape is defined by its transition from the alluvial flats near the Santa Maria River to the elevated terrain of the Solomon Hills and Nipomo Valley in the north. This map illustrates a mature community layout where industrial spurs like the Pacific Coast Ry and the expansive Santa Maria Public Airport/Captain G Allan Hancock Field sit alongside established educational centers such as Allan Hancock College. Small named settlements like Midco, Pacer, and Rosemary provide evidence of the region’s historically dispersed siding-based growth. The northern boundary is sharply delineated by the county line between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, where Nipomo Cr and Suey Cr descend toward the valley floor.
