2015 Map of Simi Valley West

About this map

Moorpark and the western edge of Simi Valley occupy this landscape of dramatic relief and expanding suburban development. The transition between the high peaks of Big Mtn and Oak Ridge to the north and the alluvial plains of the Tierra Rejada Valley to the south is sharply defined by deep drainages like Alamos Canyon and Wiley Canyon. Local history is anchored at Strathearn and the Virginia Colony, while the presence of Moorpark College marks the area's mid-century educational growth. The drainage of Arroyo Simi provides a central axis for the residential corridors of the Simi Valley, contrasted by the more open, agricultural character still evident near the Arroyo Santa Rosa. Local landmarks such as Sinaloa Lake and the Assumption Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local researchers.
