About this map

Auberry and its surrounding Sierra foothills are mapped here during a period of established mountain settlement and ecological preservation. The landscape is defined by the steep descent toward the San Joaquin River, which forms the distinctive Horseshoe Bend in the northwest. In the south, the community of Tollhouse sits near the Tollhouse Cem, marking an area with deep roots in local transport history.

Protection of the natural environment is evident through several designated zones, including the Backbone Creek Research Natural Area and the Carpenteria Botanical Area. High-elevation landmarks like the Black Mountain Lookout and Sugarloaf Hill oversee a network of forest service roads and creeks, such as Big Sandy Cr and Jose Cr, that drain the Jose Basin. The transition from the residential clusters at Meadow Lakes and Alder Springs to the more remote peaks demonstrates the area's dual character as both a mountain home and a managed forest resource.
