The
Cuyama Valley is a remote rural area with a population
of 1,120. It is situated along Highway 166, over an hour
and a half drive from the nearest city in its County.
The Valley is the home of large ranches and small scale
farming, has a fire department with trained medics, and
recreation district with the main public meeting hall,
a library open part time, a health clinic open one afternoon
a week for preventative medicine, a high school, a middle
school, and an elementary school. The landscape is similar
to other rural California area - rolling hills green in
Spring and golden in summer, dotted by gnarled old oak
trees, with water sources scattered infrequently in the
arroyos of the hills that feed into the small Cuyama River.
