2021 Map of Pine Mountain

About this map

Pine Mtn and the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada define this landscape within Kern County. The complex drainage systems of Poso Cr and Rancheria Cr are prominent, cutting through numerous canyons such as Borel Canyon and Adobe Canyon. While the topography is dominant, the presence of the Poso Canal in the southwestern corner indicates the managed water infrastructure essential to this region of California. Access throughout the area is marked by winding routes like Granite Rd and Pine Mountain Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between Poso Flat and the deeper gulches. The survey illustrates a terrain defined by its watercourses, from the northern Five Dog Cr to the southern reaches of Rancheria Canyon, providing a detailed look at the physical geography before it descends toward the Central Valley.
