1955 Map of Crevison Peak

About this map

Crevison Peak rises as the central landmark of this mid-century survey, anchoring a section of the Diablo Range where the Stanislaus and Merced county lines meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and gulches, including the steep-walled Sycamore Canyon and Rough Gulch, which drain toward the larger watercourses of Garzas Creek and Pacheco Creek. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated outposts such as Richey Camp, China Cabin Flat, and Fifield Ranch, suggesting a reliance on ranching and early resource extraction.
