About this map

Crevison Peak rises above a landscape defined by deep canyons and hidden springs in this 2012 survey. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and historical agricultural sites like Richey Camp and Fifield Ranch, suggesting a legacy of ranching in this part of California. Water remains the primary shaper of the land, with several intermittent drainages such as Garzas Cr, Quinto Cr, and Romero Cr carving out significant features like The Narrows and Big Pine Canyon.

Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate network of gulches and canyons, including Woodchopper Canyon, Jeffers Canyon, and Parnel Canyon. Notable local landmarks like Hawk Rock, China Cabin Flat, and Bone Spring Hill provide a high level of topographical detail. The presence of named water sources like McDowell Spring, Eagle Spring, and Tule Lake underscores the importance of these points in an otherwise arid environment, while roads like McCabe Rd and Cottonwood Dr provide the only modern corridors through the hills.
