About this map

Mustang Peak stands as a prominent landmark along the high boundary between Stanislaus and Santa Clara Counties in this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic record. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and ridges, including Mustang Canyon, Hog Canyon, and Buckeye Canyon, which feed into major watercourses like the S Fork Orestimba Cr. The interior terrain features several high-elevation flats and peaks, such as Mustang Flat and Hamner Hill, reflecting the complex geography of the Diablo Range.

Water management is visible through the presence of Bulhead Reservoir and Oak Springs Reservoir, essential for the region's ranching and natural drainage systems. Notable geological features like Rooster Comb and The Narrows along Garzas Cr emphasize the erosional force of the local creeks. Infrastructure is limited to remote routes like Red Creek Rd, highlighting the undeveloped nature of this mountainous borderland.
