2018 Map of Jolon

About this map

The settlement of Jolon serves as the central hub of this Monterey County landscape, positioned at the junction of Jolon Rd and Mission Rd. The terrain is defined by the steep, deeply incised slopes of the Santa Lucia Range, where numerous named canyons such as Ruby Canyon, Lugo Canyon, and Nunez Canyon drain toward the valley floor. Water systems are prominent, with the San Antonio River flowing through the central plains and the Nacimiento River skirting the southern reaches near Los Bueyes Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate network of roads like Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd and Jolon Pleyto Rd that navigate the varied topography, connecting isolated canyon floors to the main thoroughfares. High points like Mesa Coyote offer a glimpse into the rugged interior of the range before it descends into the specialized drainages of Sam Jones Canyon and China Gulch.
