Cholame Valley serves as a stark corridor between the Cholame Hills and the Eagle Hills, centered on the small settlement of Cholame. This 2021 topographic map documents a landscape defined by an extensive system of canyons and intermittent water sources, such as Adobe Springs, Bee Tree Spring, and Grainger Spring. Modern infrastructure is visible where the Governor Edmund G Brown Coastal Br California Aqueduct cuts through the southwestern corner, crossing San Juan Cr near the residential layouts of Peaceful Valley Ln. Genealogical interests are served by the location of the Shandon Cem along Cemetery Rd. The network of drainages like Palo Prieto Canyon and McMillan Canyon reveals the complex hydrologic character of this part of San Luis Obispo County.
