back-country camp, inside the mapped perimeter
back-country camp, outside it — none of them is somewhere to go
Los Burros mining site inside the mapped perimeter — position approximate, and nothing here is a way in
mining site outside it — the small diamonds are the other workings the federal record holds, unnamed to keep the map readable

Four public sources on one picture: the federal interagency perimeter, the Sheriff's evacuation zones through Cal OES, Caltrans' closed span of Highway 1, and the satellite's most recent thermal detections. None of them publishes the other three. The perimeter and the satellite are separate observations taken at different times, and each carries its own stamp above — on this fire the newer of the two has more than once been the satellite.
