San Buenaventura Map Art

Ventura sits on a narrow coastal plain between the Santa Paula Ridge to the north and the Pacific, with Main Street running parallel to the shoreline. The Ventura River cuts through downtown before reaching the harbor, and the street grid shifts where it meets the water—California Street leads directly to the historic pier, the oldest wooden pier still in use on the West Coast. Oil derricks dot the surrounding hills and offshore platforms visible from the map's edges.
