Santa Barbara Ca Research Question

I am not very familiar with Santa Barbara County. Sometimes the old City plats were not recorded anywhere. Here is a link to the County Surveyor's website (maybe this is where you were):

Your best bet might be to call the County Surveyor's office on Monday morning and ask them about it.

Call them. It used to be that one had to do research in-house there. I'd always have to go visit them from LA, But that was 8-10 years ago.;-)

Block 158 appears to be the block bounded by Carrillo Street (NW), State Street (NE), Canon Perdido Street (SE) and Chapala Street.

The GIS map shows several Record of Survey maps filed in that block. For example:

There are some older ones. One thing about Santa Barbara (and San Luis Obispo) is they would often put more than one Record of Survey on a sheet so the reference brings up a map with 2 or 4 surveys only one of which matters to you. This practice probably ended 50 years ago, or so.

Here is sheet 2 of a Parcel Map (a minor subdivision). To look at the other sheets, they are numbered in order:

P044_035.pdf = Sheet 1
P044_036.pdf = Sheet 2
P044_037.pdf = Sheet 3
P044_038.pdf = Sheet 4
P044_039.pdf = Sheet 5
P044_040.pdf = Sheet 6
P044_041.pdf = Sheet 7
