About this map

Avenal sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the flat expanse of the Kettleman Plain meets the rising terrain of the Kreyenhagen Hills. The map traces a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Reef Ridge and prominent summits like Zwang Peak and Garza Peak. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, evidenced by named sites such as Wade Baxter Spring, Sulphur Spring, and Roof Spring.

The southern portion of the survey is dominated by the Chalk Buttes and the open reach of Sunflower Valley. Remote routes like Tar Canyon Rd and the Little Avenal Creek Trl provide the only established passage through the interior of the Diablo Range. Distinctive landmarks such as The Turtle Hole and Ragged Top offer specific points of reference for those studying the local topography and the historic boundaries between Fresno and Kings counties.
