1994 Map of Garza Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Kettleman Plain and the surrounding high ridges define this landscape on the border of Kings and Fresno Counties. By the early 1990s, the development of the Avenal State Prison at the base of the Kreyenhagen Hills had fundamentally shifted the character of the area near Avenal. The topography is a study in sharp contrasts, where the flat alluvial expanses of Sunflower Valley give way to the complex folding of Reef Ridge and the Chalk Buttes. Scattered through these uplands are numerous water sources essential for this environment, such as King Wade Baxter Spring and Dirty Spring. Resource extraction and prospecting remain evident across the hills, marked by the Dawson Mine and various drill holes, while the heights of Garza Peak and Zwang Peak provide a vista over the ancient marine sediments that characterize the geological history of the Central Valley edge.
