2015 Map of Cherry Peak

About this map

San Andreas Fault traces a prominent line through this section of the Diablo Range, defining the structural character of the landscape southeast of Hollister. The terrain is marked by the deep drainage patterns of Tres Pinos Cr and the San Benito River, which cut through a network of canyons and valleys. Settlement is sparse, characterized by winding rural routes like Panoche Rd and Browns Valley Rd that follow the natural contours of Browns Valley and McKenna Canyon. The map provides a detailed view of the high ridges leading toward Cherry Peak, where the complex geology of the fault zone meets the watercourses of Los Muertos Cr and Quien Sabe Cr. This record of the interior Coast Ranges captures the enduring ranching and topographic character of the region.
