Santa Barbara metro area map
Santa Barbara metropolitan area

The Santa Barbara metropolitan area extends from Isla Vista on the west to Montecito on the east, and from the Santa Ynez mountains on the north to the Pacific Ocean on the south.

This map is not drawn to exact scale. Among other things, the areas to the east and the west of Santa Barbara have been greatly condensed to make it possible for the map to cover the entire area between Isla Vista and Montecito.

Bear in mind that the map shown here reflects the year 2007. Some things have changed in the years since. For example, this map shows the Brooks Institute of Photography, which subsequently moved to Ventura, California, and later closed.

The products shown below use versions of this map that have been modified to reflect this change, as well as to incorporate other updates and improvements.
