1956 Map of Tassajara Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Tassajara Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this 1956 survey, situated deep within the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems and high ridges, where the North Fork Big Sur River and Arroyo Seco carve through steep terrain. This era of forest management is reflected in the numerous backcountry outposts like Rocky Creek Camp, Willow Creek Camp, and Strawberry Camp, which provided essential basepoints for rangers and early wilderness travelers. High-elevation landmarks such as Black Cone and the Coast Ridge dominate the horizon, while specialized routes like the Shovel Handle Trail and Marble Peak Trail suggest the limited accessibility of the region. The map captures a transition point in wilderness recreation, documenting established camps and water sources like the Water Tank before modern infrastructure expanded further into the Santa Lucia Range.
