2021 Map of Garza Peak

About this map

Kreyenhagen Hills and the steep slopes of Reef Ridge dominate this section of the Diablo Range on the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley. The map highlights a landscape defined by deep drainages and sharp peaks, where the arid environment is punctuated by namesake water sources like Willow Spring, Sulphur Spring, and Roof Spring. To the northeast, the terrain levels out into the Kettleman Plain near the town of Avenal, showing the transition from high ridgelines to the agricultural basin of the Central Valley. Geologic and topographic points of interest such as Chalk Butte, The Turtle Hole, and the prominent Garza Peak offer specific landmarks for those studying the physical geography of the Kings County and Fresno County border. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Big Tar Canyon Rd and Flattop Mountain Rd, reflecting the area's isolation.
