2012 Map of Mustang Peak

About this map

Gill Ranch and the surrounding Diablo Range backcountry are detailed in this 2012 topographic study. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, with Garzas Cr and Coon Cr cutting through the terrain. Notable landforms such as Mustang Peak and Rooster Comb anchor the northern and central portions of the quadrangle, while The Narrows indicates where the geological structure of the region tightens along the watercourses. This map documents a largely undeveloped corridor where ranching and watershed management are the primary human imprints. Reservoirs like Bulhead Reservoir and Oak Springs Reservoir provide essential water storage in this arid environment, while named features such as Mustang Flat and Buckeye Canyon reflect the local nomenclature of the Santa Clara County interior.
