About this map

Carmel Valley Village and the adjacent community of Robles Del Rio serve as the primary residential hubs along the winding course of the Carmel River. The landscape is defined by the dramatic transitions between the valley floor and the steep heights of the Santa Lucia Range, where numerous lateral canyons like Klondike Canyon and Hitchcock Canyon feed into the main drainage.

Southern portions of the map reveal the protected wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest, characterized by high elevation landmarks such as Black Rock Ridge and Ponciano Ridge. Remote developments like Sleepy Hollow and Sky Ranch Estates illustrate the residential expansion into the hillsides, connected by a network of winding roads including Via Los Tulares and Esquiline Rd. This area highlights the complex drainage system of the Monterey hills, including San Clemente Cr and Cachagua Cr, before they join the river.
