2018 Map of Ventura

About this map

San Buenaventura (Ventura) and the sprawling coastline of Pierpont Bay dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the Ventura River meets the Pacific Ocean. The coastal plain quickly gives way to a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Cañada Larga and Manuel Canyon. Significant cultural landmarks are centered around the historic core, such as the Father Serra Cross and La Loma del Cruz, offering a record of the area's religious and civic heritage. Northward, the river valley serves as a primary corridor for settlements like Casitas Springs, Weldons, and Ortonville, leading toward the southern edge of Lake Casitas. The map details a transition from the dense urban grid of Ventura to the fire roads and rugged topography of Red Mtn and Javon Canyon, reflecting the geographical constraints that have shaped the development of this coastal county seat.
