About this map

Diablo Grande sits as a primary point of interest in this section of the San Joaquin Valley Diablo Range, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and canyons. The landscape transition from the high peaks of Copper Mtn down into the expansive Adobe Flat and Ballard Flat illustrates the natural drainage patterns of the region, where seasonal water sources like Salt Grass Springs and Fellows Spring provided critical moisture in an otherwise arid environment.

Major transit routes follow the natural topography, notably Del Puerto Canyon Rd as it winds through Del Puerto Canyon, connecting the higher elevations to the Central Valley. The naming conventions found here, such as Murderers Gulch, Blind Mans Gulch, and Slick Rock Canyon, reflect a history of early exploration and the difficult passage through these foothills. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed including Hospital Cr, Adobe Cr, and Salado Cr as they cut through the steep ridges of the Diablo Range.
