About this map

Pine Mountain Club serves as the primary residential anchor in this 1991 survey, situated within the high-elevation terrain of the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is profoundly shaped by the San Andreas Rift Zone, which cuts a distinct path through the topography near the Mil Potrero Highway. This geological feature dictates the alignment of valleys and ridges, including the prominent peaks of Sawmill Mountain and Mount Pinos, where a Condor Observation Site and Radio Tower are positioned to take advantage of the expansive views.

Outdoor recreation and conservation facilities are dense throughout the area, from the Apache Saddle Fire Station to several seasonal sites like Campo Alto Campground and Sheep Camp. The map details a transition from the structured Golf Course at the mountain club to the wild drainage systems of Apache Canyon and Lockwood Creek, reflecting the dual nature of this region as both a mountain retreat and a critical habitat for the California Condor at Camp Condor.
