2015 Map of Hollister

About this map

The Hollister townsite serves as the primary hub of this Central California landscape, situated where the Hollister Valley meets the northern reaches of the Gabilan Range. To the west, the San Andreas Fault cuts a distinct line through the topography, separating the rugged elevations of the range from the agricultural expanses of the San Juan Valley. The San Benito River flows across the northern section of the map, passing near the small settlement of Cottage Corners and the local landmark of Morse. Cultural and natural landmarks are scattered throughout the varying terrain, from the Calvary Cemetery on the edge of town to the isolated San Justo Reservoir. This survey provides a clear view of the region's complex geology, including named features like Hell Hole, Steinbeck Canyon, and Azalea Canyon, illustrating the relationship between the active fault line and the surrounding valley development.
