1956 Map of Chounet Ranch

About this map

Chounet Ranch and Wood Ranch sit along the transitional landscape where the San Joaquin Valley floor meets the rising elevations of the interior ranges. This mid-century survey illustrates an environment defined by deep drainage systems such as Gres Canyon, Moreno Gulch, and the winding Ponoche Creek. The topography is marked by distinct peaks including Nonada Hill and Cima Hill, while a Prospect near Marca Canyon suggests the early mineral exploration that occurred in these foothills.
