About this map

San Lorenzo (Randall) and the winding course of San Lorenzo Creek anchor this landscape in the mid-1960s, showing a region defined by its deep canyons and agricultural valleys. The terrain is structured by the long, parallel stretches of Peachtree Valley, Nattrass Valley, and Long Valley, where the placement of numerous Water Tanks and Wells indicates the importance of water management for the local ranching or farming operations.

Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the small Cem located near the southern edge of the survey, along with family-named landmarks like Beeman Canyon, Hamilton Canyon, and Lowe Canyon. The presence of a Jeep Trail cutting across the higher elevations, such as the Plateau, suggests the limited accessibility of the more elevated portions of the Monterey County interior during this period.
