2015 Map of Pinalito Canyon

About this map

San Lorenzo Cr meanders through the southern portion of this landscape where the boundary between Monterey County and San Benito County follows the rugged ridgelines. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Pinalito Canyon and Black Canyon, which carve through the terrain toward the valley floor. Bitterwater Rd and King City Rd serve as the primary transit corridors, threading between the hills and providing access to the localized flatlands of Becker Valley. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of California where the natural topography dictates the placement of infrastructure, with many canyons such as Agua Grande Canyon and Cherry Canyon remaining largely untouched by modern development.
