About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a prominent path through this corner of San Benito County, defining the geological character of the landscape where the Diablo Range meets the Bitterwater Valley. The topography is marked by a network of ridges and canyons, including Buck Ridge and Squire Ridge, which funnel seasonal waters into the San Benito River. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water sources, with numerous named springs such as Rock Spring, Wild Oat Springs, and Hunter Spring scattered across the high country.

Evidence of early transit and community remains visible in the alignment of Old Hernandez Rd and Coalinga Rd. Near their intersection in the southwest, the Bitterwater Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for the area. The map also identifies local peaks and depressions like Rock Spring Peak and Rabbit Valley, providing a detailed look at the complex drainage systems of Red Mountain Cr and Morellini Cr.
