Salinas stands as a central hub for the Monterey County agricultural corridor, anchored by the winding course of the Salinas River and its accompanying sloughs. This 2021 study details the complex network of drainage and development, from the Tembladero Slough in the northwest to the Alisal Slough and Natividad Cr that thread through the city's eastern expansion. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists and local historians, featuring several distinct burial grounds including the Chinese Cem, Yamato Cem, and the Monterey County Potters Field Cem. To the south, the landscape shifts from the dense urban grid of Hartnell Community College and the Monterey County Superior Court Salinas toward the southern ridges. Here, one finds East Garrison and the training grounds of Machine Gun Flats, situated just north of the prominent Sandstone Ridge and Pilarcitos Ridge.
