2015 Map of Prunedale

About this map

The coastal lowlands and hills of northern Monterey County are defined by the intricate waterways of Elkhorn Slough and Moro Cojo Slough. In this part of California, the landscape transitions from the agricultural flats near Castroville to the residential canyons of Prunedale. The map illustrates a high density of named canyons such as Vierra Canyon, Langley Canyon, and Berta Canyon, which highlight the topographical complexity of the region. Historically significant sites like Hambey Cemetery and local landmarks like Schneider Hill provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The proximity of Merritt Lake and Carneros Cr further emphasizes the watershed's influence on the development of communities like Las Lomas and Oak Hills.
