About this map

Browns Valley sits at the heart of this landscape in the southern reaches of San Benito County, where the terrain transitions between the Gabilan Range and the Diablo Range. This area is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the San Benito River and the winding course of Tres Pinos Cr. The map highlights the sparse ranching infrastructure and remote road networks that serve this part of the California Coast Ranges, with corridors like Panoche Rd and Cottonwood Rd providing the primary access through the hills.

Local landmarks such as Cherry Peak and McKenna Canyon offer specific points of reference for those studying the topography of the region. The map also records the location of Live Oak and the rugged contours around Stone Canyon, illustrating the relationship between the narrow valley floors and the steep surrounding peaks. Researchers will find a clear representation of the various creek systems, including Quien Sabe Cr and Los Muertos Cr, as they appeared during this 2021 survey.
