About this map

York Mountain stands as a central landmark in this portion of San Luis Obispo County, where the coastal range terrain is defined by deep canyons and winding creek beds. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the headwaters of Paso Robles Cr and the long course of Santa Rita Cr which flows past the Santa Rita Ranch. The map reveals a landscape dominated by large agricultural holdings and rural estates, evident in the named properties like Kentucky Ranch and specialized infrastructure such as the Oak Country Ranch Airport.

Transportation routes like Vineyard Dr and Peachy Canyon Rd trace the contours of the land, connecting disparate ranch sites through Summit Canyon and Dover Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern rural character of the region, where the historical ranching footprint remains visible through the names of roads and landmarks, even as more contemporary roads like Narnia Rd and Alpine Way appear on the landscape.
