2018 Map of San Benito

About this map

The San Benito River winds through this Central Coast landscape, defining a corridor of ranching and transit in the southeastern reach of the county. The small settlement of San Benito sits at the junction of Old Hernandez Rd and Hernandez Rd, serving as a quiet focal point for the surrounding highlands. To the west, the boundary of Pinnacles National Park edges into the Gabilan Range, marking a transition from protected volcanic spires to the working ranch lands of the Call Mountains. Evidence of the area's complex topography is seen in features like The Hole and Pine Ridge, while historical transit is traced along Airline Hwy. The map details a network of canyons including Bosworth Canyon and Shields Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff toward the primary river valley, reflecting the importance of water management in this arid interior terrain.
