About this map

The Salinas River corridor defines this portion of Monterey County, cutting a broad path through the landscape between the Diablo Range to the northeast and the foothills to the southwest. The town of King City occupies the northwest corner of the sheet, served by the Mesa Del Rey Airport and an industrial corridor along Industrial Way. This area serves as a primary transit and agricultural hub, where the river's path is paralleled by major road networks and local routes like Lonoak Rd and Cattlemen Rd.

Further down the valley, the small settlement of San Lucas sits near the junction of Main St and Alley A, marking a quieter residential node. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep drainages, including Wildhorse Canyon, Sweetwater Canyon, and Hamilton Canyon, which carry seasonal runoff from the higher elevations toward the valley floor. Small named locations like Welby punctuate the route between the larger population centers, reflecting the established ranching and transport patterns of the Salinas Valley.
