2021 Map of Palo Escrito Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Salinas River valley corridor forms the heart of this landscape, where the fertile floor transitions abruptly into the high elevations of the Sierra de Salinas. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, anchored by the towns of Gonzales and Soledad. This 2021 study documents the agricultural and transport infrastructure of the region, including the Gonzales Cem and the rail-aligned settlements at Molus and Camphora. The western half of the map is dominated by the steep ascent toward Palo Escrito Peak and Paloma Mtn, where deep drainages like Paloma Cr and Robert Son Cr carve through Paloma Ridge. This sharp contrast between the industrial-scale agriculture of the river plain and the undeveloped ridges illustrates the physical geography that has dictated Monterey County's development for over a century.
