About this map

The Kreyenhagen Hills of Fresno County define this landscape of deep drainages and cattle ranching south of Coalinga. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including the central Jacalitos Cr and the southern Zapato Chino Cr, which have carved out notable landmarks like Deadman Canyon and Reedwater Canyon. This area reflects the mid-century agricultural and industrial character of the San Joaquin Valley’s western edge.

Energy extraction remains a primary driver of land use, centered on the Jacalitos Oil Field in the northwest. Scattered across the hills are namesake family holdings and established agricultural hubs such as the Kreyenhagen Ranch, Esrey Ranch, and Zuburi Ranch. These legacy properties are linked by a sparse grid of rural roads like Lost Hills Rd and S Merced Ave, providing a clear look at the ranching infrastructure still active in the early 21st century.
