2015 Map of North Chalone Peak

About this map

Pinnacles National Park dominates this central California landscape, where the jagged volcanic remains of the Neenach Volcano have been shifted by the San Andreas Fault. High elevation points like North Chalone Peak and South Chalone Peak provide a dramatic contrast to the low-lying Salinas River visible at the southwestern edge of the survey. The topography is defined by sharp vertical features such as Machete Ridge, The Fingers, and the Resurrection Wall, alongside deep drainages like Stonewall Canyon and Bear Gulch. Human infrastructure is largely confined to the western perimeter, where residential labels like Silvear Dr and Detweiler Ln meet the wilderness. For genealogists and local historians, named locations like Star Flat and Murphy Flat at the eastern boundary provide specific points of interest within the broader network of springs and canyons, including Parson Spring and George Hansen Canyon.
