2012 Map of Piedra

Settlement patterns are concentrated along these water sources and the foothills, with small communities like Piedra and Avocado situated near the riverbanks. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Hazelton Cem and the Harris River Ranch Airport. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Coyote Ridge and Stephenson Hill, where seasonal creeks like Holland Cr and Fancher Cr drain toward the valley floor. The geography shown here reflects a sophisticated managed landscape where natural watercourses and engineered canals intersect to sustain Central Valley life.
