2012 Map of Wheeler Springs

About this map

Wheeler Springs serves as the gateway to this network of canyons and creeks within Ventura County. The settlement and leisure patterns of the early 21st century are visible in the distribution of seasonal sites such as Holiday Camp, Maple Campground, and the Wheeler Gorge Campground. The landscape is dominated by the drainage systems of Sespe Cr and Matilija Cr, which have carved significant features like Sespe Gorge and Godwin Canyon. Inland ranching history is marked by the presence of Felt Ranch and Hartman Ranch, while specialized infrastructure like Gypsum Mine Rd points to the area's mineral extraction history. Higher elevations are punctuated by landmarks like Ortega Hill and Dry Lakes Ridge, providing a detailed look at the interface between human recreation and the natural terrain.
