About this map

The Diablo Range defines the southwestern landscape of this Fresno County area, where the terrain transitions into a complex system of ridges and canyons. To the northeast, the foothills of the Jacalitos Hills and the Kreyenhagen Hills break away toward the floor of the San Joaquin Valley Central Valley. This transition is marked by numerous drainage features, most notably Jacalitos Cr and the deeply carved Zapato Chino Canyon.

Evidence of local land use is visible in the network of secondary roads such as Jacalitos Creek Rd and W Lost Hills Rd, which serve the agricultural and ranching operations on the periphery of Coalinga. The naming of features like Pete Merrill Canyon and Ruiz Canyon suggests a history of local family settlement and land claims in these folds of the western valley edge. The presence of Pleasant Valley in the north provides a stark contrast to the more dissected southern reaches near Deadman Canyon.
