About this map

Warthan Cr carves a prominent path through this corner of Fresno County, where the high-relief landscape is defined by named peaks and remote ranching operations. The topography is dotted with family-named sites such as Sanderson Ranch, Alcalde Ranch, and the Marcelin Roberts Ranch. Significant landmarks such as Wildcat Rock, Church Rock, and Swallow Rock rise above the canyons, indicating a geologically complex environment within the Jacalitos Hills.

Water sources are scarce but critical in this terrain, as shown by the labeling of various springs and pools, including Castro Spring, Iron Spring, and the unique Merrill Pools. Transportation is limited to narrow corridors like Parkfield, which leads toward the western edge of the quadrangle near Parkfield Junction. The map reveals a specialized land use where isolated structures like Dias Cabin exist alongside broader geographic features like Curry Mountain and Reason Mountain.
