# §9.218. Sierra Pelona Valley.

- (a) **Name.** The name of the viticultural area described in this section is “Sierra Pelona Valley”. For purposes of [part 4](/cfr/27/part4.md) of this chapter, “Sierra Pelona Valley” and “Sierra Pelona” are terms of viticultural significance.
- (b) **Approved maps.** The three United States Geological Survey 1:24,000 scale topographic maps used to determine the boundary of the Sierra Pelona Valley viticultural area are titled:
  - (1) Agua Dulce, CA, 1995;
  - (2) Sleepy Valley, CA, 1995; and
  - (3) Ritter Ridge, Calif., 1958, Photorevised 1974.
- (c) **Boundary.** The Sierra Pelona Valley viticultural area is located in Los Angeles County, California. The boundary of the Sierra Pelona Valley viticultural area is as described below:
  - (1) The beginning point is on the Agua Dulce map at the intersection of the [section 26](/cfr/27/26.md) east boundary line, the pipeline, and Escondido Canyon Road, a secondary highway, T5N, R14W. From the beginning point, proceed in a straight line south 0.3 mile to the line's intersection with the northeast corner of the Vasquez Rocks County Park, T5N, R14W; then
  - (2) Proceed southwest through [section 26](/cfr/27/26.md) along the straight lines and 90-degree turns of the county park boundary line to the line's intersection with the southeast corner of [section 27](/cfr/27/27.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (3) Proceed southwest in a straight line 0.4 mile to the line's intersection with BM 2258, [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (4) Proceed west-northwest in a straight line 0.15 mile, crossing over the Agua Dulce Road, to the line's intersection with the 2,400-foot elevation line and an unimproved dirt road, [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (5) Proceed generally west along the meandering 2,400-foot elevation line to the line's intersection with the [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md) west boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (6) Proceed north along the [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md) west boundary line 1 mile to the line's intersection with the 2,800-foot elevation line and the [section 27](/cfr/27/27.md) west boundary line; then
  - (7) Proceed along the 2,800-foot elevation line first generally northeast, then northwest around Saddleback Mountain, and then north across a trail and an unimproved dirt road, to the line's intersection with the [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md) south boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (8) Proceed straight east along the [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md) south boundary line 0.25 mile to the southeast corner of [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (9) Proceed north along the [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md) south boundary line onto the Sleepy Valley map 0.6 mile to the line's intersection with the 2,800-foot elevation line and the [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md) west boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (10) Proceed along the 2,800-foot elevation line generally northeast around the 3,166-foot and 3,036-foot pinnacles, then continue southwest to the line's intersection with the [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md) north boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (11) Proceed west along the [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md) north boundary line 0.2 mile to the line's intersection with the 2,600-foot elevation line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (12) Proceed generally west-southwest along the 2,600-foot elevation line to the line's intersection with the [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md) west boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (13) Proceed north along the [section 21](/cfr/27/21.md) west boundary line 0.2 mile to the line's intersection with the 2,400-foot elevation line and the [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md) east boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (14) Proceed generally southwest along the 2,400-foot elevation line to the line's intersection with an unimproved dirt road in [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (15) Proceed northwest along the unimproved dirt road 0.15 mile to its intersection with the Sierra Highway, a secondary highway, [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (16) Proceed southwest along the Sierra Highway 0.15 mile to its intersection with an unnamed stream, [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md), T5N, R14W; then
  - (17) Proceed in a straight line north-northwest approximately 0.3 mile to the line's intersection with the Angeles National Forest boundary line, an unnamed stream running through Rowher Canyon, and the [section 17](/cfr/27/17.md) south boundary line, T5N, R14W; then
  - (18) Proceed straight east, north, and east, making 90-degree turns, along the Angeles National Forest boundary line to the line's intersection with the [section 7](/cfr/27/7.md) southwest corner, T5N, R13W; then
  - (19) Proceed straight north along the Angeles National Forest boundary line and the [section 7](/cfr/27/7.md) west boundary line 0.5 mile to the line's intersection with the 3,400-foot elevation line, T5N, R13W; then
  - (20) Proceed along the 3,400-foot elevation line generally east, north, then west to the line's intersection with the [section 6](/cfr/27/6.md) west boundary line, T5N, R13W; then
  - (21) Proceed north along the [section 6](/cfr/27/6.md) west boundary line 0.4 mile to the line's intersection with the 3,400-foot elevation line, T5N, R13W; then
  - (22) Proceed generally southeast along the 3,400-foot elevation line, crossing over Latteau, Willow Springs, and Hauser Canyons and continuing onto the Ritter Ridge map, to the line's intersection with an unimproved dirt road at Summit, [section 16](/cfr/27/16.md), T5N, R13W; then
  - (23) Proceed south along the unnamed dirt road less than 0.1 mile, crossing the Sierra Highway, to its intersection with the 3,400-foot elevation line, [section 16](/cfr/27/16.md), T5N, R13W; then
  - (24) Proceed generally southwest along the 3,400-foot elevation line, meandering between the Sleepy Valley and Ritter Ridge maps and then returning to the Sleepy Valley map, to the line's intersection with the [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md) north boundary line, T5N, R13W; then
  - (25) Proceed in a straight line west along the [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md) north boundary line 0.2 mile to the line's intersection with the 3,200-foot elevation line, [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md), T5N, R13W; then
  - (26) Proceed generally southwest along the 3,200-foot elevation line to the line's intersection with the [section 19](/cfr/27/19.md) west boundary line, T5N, R13W; then
  - (27) Proceed in a straight line north along the [section 19](/cfr/27/19.md) west boundary line 0.15 mile to the line's intersection with a pipeline, T5N, R13W; and then
  - (28) Proceed southwest onto the Agua Dulce map 1.25 miles along the pipeline, returning to the beginning point.
