2012 Map of Cosio Knob

About this map

The southern reaches of the Santa Lucia Range are defined here by a series of steep canyons and the military presence of Hunter-Liggett. This 2012 survey shows the topographic character of the region as Jolon Cr and Mission Cr drain the uplands toward the Jolon Valley. The terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Cosio Knob and the Oat Hills, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used for travel. Transportation in this part of Monterey County relies on the primary artery of Jolon Rd and its bypass, Old Jolon Rd. The map also traces numerous named drainages including Wilkins Canyon, Mansfield Canyon, and Sulphur Spring Canyon, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of this rugged interior landscape.
