1951 Map of Santa Paula Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Santa Paula Ridge dominates this mid-century landscape in Ventura County, where the transition from agricultural valley to high wilderness is clearly defined by the boundary of the Los Padres National Forest. The map documents a significant industrial footprint within the hills, notably the numerous Oil Wells and storage infrastructure clustered in Anlauf Canyon and around Sulphur Mountain. This oil extraction economy operates alongside established ranching interests like Ferndale Ranch and local institutions such as Mupu School. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly inaccessible, marked only by remote outposts like Last Chance Camp and Bluff Camp, and the rugged Sespe Wildlife Area. The presence of the Ex Mission San Buenaventura boundary reflects the region's deeper colonial land grant history, while the steep grades of Santa Paula Canyon and Sisar Canyon showcase the area's natural hydrology.
