About this map

Pyramid Hills and the eastern edge of the Diablo Range define this landscape along the border of Kings and Kern Counties. The topography is dominated by dramatic ridges and basins, from the steep Reef Ridge in the north to the sprawling San Joaquin Valley and Kettleman Plain to the east. Waterways such as Avenal Cr and Cottonwood Cr cut through the arid terrain, creating natural corridors like Deadman Gap and Dagany Gap that have long influenced movement through the region.

Industrial and agricultural accessibility is reflected in the established routes of York Ave and Pyramid Hills RD, which skirt the edges of the Sunflower Valley. This area represents a classic California interior landscape, where the intersection of geological formations like Indian Rocks and Avenal Ridge meets the vast alluvial plains. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines that parcel this transition zone between mountain and valley.
