- (a) **Name.** The name of the viticultural area described in this section is “Paso Robles Estrella District.” For purposes of [part 4](/cfr/27/part4.md) of this chapter, “Paso Robles Estrella District” and “Paso Robles Estrella” are terms of viticultural significance.
- (b) **Approved maps.** The five United States Geological Survey 1:24,000 scale topographic maps used to determine the boundary of the Paso Robles Estrella District viticultural area are titled:
  - (1) Paso Robles, Calif., 1948, photorevised 1979;
  - (2) San Miguel, Calif., 1948, photorevised 1979;
  - (3) Ranchito Canyon, Calif., 1948, photorevised 1976;
  - (4) Estrella, Calif., 1948, photorevised 1979; and
  - (5) Shandon, Calif., 1961.

  - (3) Proceed east-southeasterly in a straight line approximately 4.5 miles to the 1,819-foot elevation point in the northwestern quadrant of [section 18](/cfr/27/18.md), T25S/R14E; then
  - (4) Proceed southeasterly in a straight line approximately 1.6 miles, crossing over the northeastern corner of the Estrella map and then onto the Shandon map, to the 1,614-foot elevation point in the northwestern quadrant of [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md), T25S/R14E; then
  - (5) Proceed southeasterly in a straight line approximately 1.05 miles to the 1,601-foot elevation point in the northeastern quadrant of [section 29](/cfr/27/29.md), T25S/R14E; then
  - (6) Proceed east-southeasterly in a straight line approximately 2.2 miles to the 1,562-foot elevation point, [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md), T25S/R14E; then
  - (7) Proceed south-southeasterly in a straight line approximately 3 miles to the 1,481-foot “Estrella” elevation point, [section 14](/cfr/27/14.md), T26S/R14E; then
  - (8) Proceed southwesterly in a straight line approximately 0.95 mile to the intersection of the eastern boundary line of [section 15](/cfr/27/15.md), T26S/R14E, and U.S. 446/State Route 41 (now known as State Route 46); then
  - (9) Proceed south along the eastern boundary lines of sections [15](/cfr/27/15.md) and [22](/cfr/27/22.md), approximately 0.55 mile, to the intersection of the [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md) boundary line and the unnamed intermittent stream that flows from Shedd Canyon, [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md), T26S/R14E; then
  - (10) Proceed southeasterly and then southerly (upstream) along the unnamed intermittent stream located within Shedd Canyon approximately 1.9 miles to the stream's intersection with the southern boundary line of [section 26](/cfr/27/26.md), T26S/R14E; then
  - (11) Proceed west along the southern boundary lines of sections [26](/cfr/27/26.md), [27](/cfr/27/27.md) and [28](/cfr/27/28.md), T26S/R14E, approximately 1.9 miles to the [section 28](/cfr/27/28.md) boundary line's intersection with an unnamed unimproved road located between the 1,220- and 1,240-foot contour lines, [section 28](/cfr/27/28.md), T26S/R14E; then
  - (12) Proceed southwesterly along the unnamed unimproved road approximately 0.4 miles to a fork and then continue on the westerly fork of the unnamed unimproved road approximately 0.3 miles to the 1,385-foot elevation point, [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md), T26S/R14E; then
  - (13) Proceed west-northwesterly in a straight line approximately 1.6 miles, crossing onto the Estrella map, to the line's intersection with an unnamed unimproved road and the southern boundary of [section 30](/cfr/27/30.md), T26R/R14E; then
  - (14) Proceed northerly along the unnamed unimproved road approximately 2.0 miles to the road's intersection with an unnamed light-duty road known locally as River Grove Drive in Whitley Gardens, T26S/R14E; then
  - (15) Proceed westerly in a straight line less than 0.1 mile to the intersection of the western boundary line of [section 19](/cfr/27/19.md), T26S/R14E and State Route 46, and then continue west on State Route 46 approximately 2.1 miles to the southwest corner of [section 14](/cfr/27/14.md), T26S/R13E; then
