2018 Map of Sisquoc

About this map

Sisquoc stands at the northern edge of this landscape, situated where the Sisquoc River meets the fertile floor of the Santa Maria Valley. The terrain to the south and east transitions into a complex system of ridges and canyons, most notably the Solomon Hills and Purisima Hills. This area is defined by its network of canyons, including Cat Canyon, Bradley Canyon, and Solomon Canyon, which historically served as vital corridors through the upland terrain. A significant system of recreational paths is concentrated in the western hills, featuring the Dinosaur Loop Trail, Manzanita Trail, and Valley View Trail. These paths trace the contours of the high ground, providing a unique look at the drainage patterns of Orcutt Cr and San Antonio Cr. The map details a landscape where industrial access roads like Foxen Canyon RD and Cat Canyon RD weave between agricultural valleys and the rugged interior ridges of Gato Ridge.
