1995 Map of Tepusquet Canyon

About this map

The Suey Grant, Tepusquet Grant, and Sisquoc Grant define the land divisions of this California interior, where steep canyons and high ridges separate historic ranchlands and public wilderness. The landscape is dominated by the Los Padres National Forest, with significant topographical features including Tepusquet Peak and the winding course of Tepusquet Canyon. For the local historian and genealogist, the map records specific points of human history such as the Ontiveros Cem and the isolated Ruiz Grave. These markers, along with the Goodchild Ranch, reflect the area's legacy of private land holdings amidst the broader national forest. The map also identifies industrial and recreational sites, from scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry to remote locations like Bear Campsite and Alejandro Campsite, accessed via rugged routes like Tepusquet Road and Colson Canyon Road.
