About this map

Slack Canyon and the surrounding drainage systems of the Diablo Range define this 2012 survey. The landscape is marked by a complex network of canyons and valleys, most notably Charley Valley and Hewitt Valley, which provide passage through this interior section of Fresno County. Water sources are critical identifiers across this terrain, with numerous named points such as Eblen Spring, McMillan Spring, and Live Oak Spring serving as historically significant landmarks for travelers and land use.

Infrastructure is sparse, centered on the Slack Canyon Conservation Camp and a few primary transit routes like Peachtree Rd and Slacks Canyon Rd. These roads trace the contours of seasonal waterways like Pancho Rico Cr and San Lorenzo Cr. The map's detailed recording of features like Little Bitterwater Spring and Splitrock Canyon provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-driven geography of this rural California interior.
