1969 Map of Pinalito Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

San Lorenzo Creek and Bitterwater Creek converge at the southern end of this Central Coast landscape, defining a region where water management and extraction drove the local economy. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages including Pinalito Canyon and Agua Grande Canyon, which reveal the complex topography of the San Benito and Monterey County border. Ranching and resource extraction are evident through the presence of several Quarries, Gravel Pits, and a Gaging Station situated along the primary waterways. Transportation in the late 1960s was limited to arterial routes like Bitterwater Road and various unnamed Jeep Trails that provided access to isolated springs and tanks such as Cinco Spring, marking a period of sparse settlement and industrial land use.
