2021 Map of Pancho Rico Valley

About this map

Pancho Rico Valley serves as the central drainage of this segment of the Diablo Range in Monterey County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of steep drainages, including the aptly named Deadman Gulch and Dry Gulch, which feed into the main course of Pancho Rico Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous family and descriptive landmarks such as Dutch Henry Canyon, Jim Lawson Gulch, and Portugee Canyon, suggesting the historical ranching and settlement patterns of this isolated region. Connectivity across the high ridges is maintained by Sargents Rd and Pancho Rico Rd, while water sources like Iron Springs and Biman Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid and dissected upland environment.
