Cholame

The landscape around Cholame is dry, rolling ranch country in California’s inner Coast Ranges, which has shaped both the settlement’s dispersed form and its agricultural economy. This unincorporated community in San Luis Obispo County sits beside State Route 46, close to its junction with State Route 41, across a broad valley of grazing land and seasonal golden grass. Cholame is internationally associated with James Dean: the actor suffered fatal injuries in a 1955 crash at the nearby highway junction, now known as the James Dean Memorial Junction. The sparse roadside setting gives this part of Central California a markedly different character from the Pacific coast.
