2015 Map of Templeton

About this map

The Salinas River corridor defines the geography of this Central Coast landscape, anchoring the connected communities of Paso Robles, Templeton, and Atascadero. This 2015 survey details the established residential and agricultural grids of northern San Luis Obispo County, where the river's path is paralleled by El Camino Real. The terrain varies from the level valley floors along Paso Robles Creek to the undulating ridgelines of Peachy Canyon and Kiler Canyon in the west. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the location of the Templeton Cemetery and numerous family-named landmarks. The map also documents essential water sources in the semi-arid hills, including Sulphur Spring and Neals Spring, along with the network of rural routes like Santa Rita Road and Templeton Road that link the vineyards and ranches to the primary settlements.
