About this map

The Panoche Valley defines the northern reaches of this map, where the settlement of Llanada sits along the primary thoroughfare of Panoche Rd. This high-desert landscape in the Diablo Range is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems and isolated springs, including Parrot Spring Sulphur and Moody Spring. The topographical relief is marked by significant elevations such as Walker Peak and Meyers Peak, providing a clear view of the structural geology that shaped the eastern side of the county.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Cherry Hill Cem located near the valley floor, a primary point of interest for tracing early families in this rural territory. The land is dissected by numerous deep cuts like Bitterwater Canyon and Smoker Canyon, which transition toward the Pimental Valley in the south. The mapping of Little Panoche Rd and various canyons suggests a history of ranching and land use tethered to the intermittent flow of Panoche Cr.
