2015 Map of Kreyenhagen Hills

About this map

Pleasant Valley opens into the southeastern edge of Coalinga, marking a transition from the agricultural expanse of the San Joaquin Valley into the complex drainages of the Diablo Range. The landscape is defined by the namesake Kreyenhagen Hills and Jacalitos Hills, where seasonal watercourses like Warthan Cr, Jacalitos Cr, and Zapato Chino Cr have carved a series of distinct topographic features. These include the deep recesses of Deadman Canyon, Ruiz Canyon, and Pete Merrill Canyon. This 2015 survey illustrates the intersection of Fresno County's rugged western uplands with the valley floor, documenting the rural road network including S Merced Ave and S Alpine Ave as they navigate the varied elevations of the Central Valley margin.
