1955 Map of Crevison Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Crevison Peak stands as the central landmark of this mid-century survey, which maps a high-relief section of the Diablo Range spanning the boundary between Stanislaus Co and Merced Co. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Garzas Creek, Quinto Creek, and the headwaters of Pacheco Creek, all carving deep gulches through the arid hills. While much of the terrain is characterized by its dramatic topography, early ranching and seasonal habitation are evident at Richey Camp, China Cabin Flat, and the Fifield Ranch. The presence of numerous windmills and springs, such as Reeves Spring and McDowell Spr, points to the vital importance of water management in these grazing lands. Smaller upland water bodies like Dry Lake and Bass Lake provide focal points within the higher elevations, while a network of jeep trails indicates the remote accessibility of the region during this era of topographic mapping.
