The Diablo Range defines the topography of this corner of Merced and San Benito counties, where a complex network of canyons and ridges dictates the movement of water and travelers. The S Fork Los Banos Cr and its tributaries carve deep through the landscape, creating distinct geological features such as Ruby Canyon, Molina Canyon, and the expansive Piedra Azul Canyon. To the southeast, the high ground of Ortigalita Ridge overlooks the Las Aguilas Valley, a region where the land opens into broader flats like Dairy Flat.
