2012 Map of Shedd Canyon

About this map

Indian Cr and its ephemeral tributaries like Dry Cr carve through the arid terrain of eastern San Luis Obispo County, defining the rural landscape of this central California quadrangle. Large agricultural holdings and camps are the primary markers of human presence, including CW Clarke Ranch and Upton Ranch. The drainage patterns of Shedd Canyon and Upton Canyon guide the local road network, where thoroughfares such as La Panza Rd and Ryan Rd connect scattered outposts like Walters Camp and Eddy Camp. The map illustrates a region characterized by wide-open spaces and ranching life, where water sources like Quail Water Cr remain critical landmarks for navigation and land management. This 2012 edition documents the enduring cattle ranching tradition and the specific property boundaries of family-named sites such as Jackson and Reinhert Ranch.
