2012 Map of Lonoak

About this map

Lonoak occupies the intersection of Lonoak Rd and Bitterwater Cr, serving as a central point in this stretch of the California Coast Ranges. The landscape is defined by the broad Bitterwater Valley and Peachtree Valley, where seasonal drainage systems like Lewis Cr and San Lorenzo Cr carve through the terrain. Significant local landmarks include Tully Mountain and the curiously named Lake Tanganyika, situated in the northeast near Trough Spring. Rural life is centered around long-standing hubs such as Tully Hall and the De Alvarez Ranch, with numerous named water sources like Greentree Spring and Ligs Spring indicating the importance of water management in this environment. The map details the transition from the steep walls of Yaqui Canyon and Dixon Canyon to the more accessible valley floors used for ranching and transport.
