The boundary, as written into law

Every American wine appellation is defined in federal regulations by walking the boundary landmark by landmark. The official description of this one begins:

Boundary. The Alisos Canyon viticultural area is located in Santa Barbara County, California. The boundary of the Alisos Canyon viticultural area is as described below: (1) The beginning point is on the Foxen Canyon map at an unnamed hilltop with a marked elevation of 1,137 feet, located west of the CaƱada de los Coches in the La Laguna Grant. From the beginning point, proceed east in a straight line for 3.71 miles...

Boundary traced by the UC Davis Library from the official descriptions in federal regulation, and released under an open licence. Smoothed for manufacturing. Decorative use only, not for legal boundary determination.
