Wadstrom is a small place located in Ventura County, California, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it is not an official city or town with its own local government. Instead, it is managed by the county government, which is Ventura County.

Discovering Wadstrom: Location and Features

Wadstrom is found along California State Route 33, a main road in the area. It is about 4.6 miles (7.4 kilometers) northwest of the city of Ventura. This makes it quite close to a larger city, but Wadstrom itself remains a smaller, quieter spot.

How High is Wadstrom?

Wadstrom sits at an elevation of about 131 feet (40 meters) above sea level. This measurement tells us how high the land is compared to the ocean.
