2012 Map of Pleito Hills

About this map

Antimony Peak anchors the southern boundary of this 2012 survey, overlooking a landscape where deep drainage systems and named plateaus define the terrain. The presence of Harris Ranch serves as a lone human marker in an area characterized by significant topographic shifts, from the elevations of the Pleito Hills to the lower expanse of Wheeler Ridge in the north. This map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Pleito Cr and Salt Cr systems as they carve through the canyons. Notable local landmarks such as Lost Canyon, Neasons Flat, and Joe Clark Flat are precisely documented, providing specific reference points for those studying the physical geography or land-use history of this section of Kern County. In the northeast, Laval Rd skirts the base of the ridge, marking one of the few developed transit corridors in this largely undeveloped area.
