2022 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Grapevine serves as a critical transit point where the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising elevations of the San Emigdio Mountains. This modern topographic survey illustrates the complex infrastructure required to move water and traffic through the Tehachapi Pass corridor, dominated by the massive engineering of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct. To the south, the landscape transitions into the protected wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest, where steep drainages like Metratta Canyon and Reed Canyon carve through the high country. The map captures the meeting of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges, marked by landmarks such as Grapevine Peak and the seasonal flows of Tecuya Cr. It is a landscape of stark contrasts, from the industrial utility of Tejon Industrial Dr to the rugged, natural terrain of the Pleito Hills.
