The San Benito River winds through the high canyons of the Diablo Range in this contemporary record of the central California backcountry. This rugged terrain is defined by a complex network of ridges and springs, such as Squire Ridge and Hunter Spring, which have long supported the region's ranching and watershed heritage. The presence of the Bitterwater Cem in the Bitterwater Valley provides a genealogical touchstone for families rooted in this part of San Benito County, while topographic landmarks like Rock Spring Peak and Wild Oat Peak anchor the surrounding wilderness.
