2015 Map of Gonzales

About this map

The Salinas River valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Gabilan Range in this detailed 2015 study of Monterey County. The city of Gonzales serves as the focal point, showing a distinct layout of agricultural and residential streets including Chardonnay Dr and Cabernet Dr, reflecting the region's viticultural identity. Outside the main settlement, the smaller locations of Dean and Penvir sit along the historic corridor of El Camino Real and Old Stage Rd, which run parallel to the modern highway. The eastern half of the map is dominated by a complex network of canyons, most notably Chualar Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Espinosa Canyon, carved out by seasonal drainages like Chualar Cr and Muddy Cr. This document provides a precise record of land use where intensive valley irrigation ends and the high cattle range begins.
