About this map

Prunedale and its complex network of canyons and coastal sloughs are the focal point of this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where settlements like Las Lomas and Oak Hills are separated by deep topographical features such as Strawberry Canyon, Vierra Canyon, and Pesante Canyon. This modern geographic data highlights the area's transition from the coastal wetlands of Elkhorn Slough and Moro Cojo Slough into the elevated residential pockets of Paradise Valley and Schneider Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks like the Hambey Cem and Queen of Heaven Cem, while the course of El Camino Real S and San Juan Rd demonstrates the primary transportation corridors. The map provides a clear view of the interface between Monterey and San Benito counties, with significant water bodies like Merritt Lake and Tembladero Slough marking the lower elevations near the southern boundary.
