2015 Map of Cerro Colorado

About this map

Cerro Colorado rises as a prominent landmark within the Diablo Range on this modern survey of the California Coast Ranges. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes and deeply cut drainages such as Las Aguilas Canyon and the winding course of Mercey Cr. The landscape transitions from the broad Little Panoche Valley in the northeast toward more complex interior terrain marked by Glaucophane Ridge and Slacks Valley. Evidence of the area's resource history is noted by a Mine located in the northern reaches, while the modern infrastructure is largely limited to Little Panoche Rd following the eastern boundary. This map records the intersection of Fresno, Merced, and San Benito counties, providing a clear look at the remote canyon systems including Vasquez Cr and Las Aguilas Cr as they appeared in 2015.
