2012 Map of Orestimba Peak

About this map

Orestimba Peak and Black Mountain define the high terrain of western Stanislaus County in this 2012 survey. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of seasonal drainage and watercourses, most notably the winding path of Orestimba Cr as it flows toward the valley, passing through the distinctive Orestimba Narrows. Further north, the terrain is carved by Crow Cr and Oso Cr, with Crow Hill standing as a prominent landmark. Aside from the unpaved route of Orestimba Rd entering from the east and the presence of the Merriam Drain, the map shows a largely undeveloped environment, preserving the natural topography of the Diablo Range foothills as they appeared in the early 21st century.
