About this map

Water infrastructure and complex topography define this portion of the Diablo Range at the edge of the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is bisected by major engineering projects, including the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, the Delta-Mendota Canal, and the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, which cut through the foothills to transport water across the state. In the lower elevations, a network of irrigation laterals such as Lateral Four N and Lateral Six N support the agriculture near the settlement of Solyo.

Transitioning from the valley floor into the uplands, the terrain rises toward Mt Oso. This rugged area is carved by numerous drainages, including Ingram Canyon, Rocky Ford Canyon, and Kern Canyon. Historic place names like Chicken Flat and Cedar Spring Gulch indicate established landmarks within the folds of the hills, while seasonal waterways like Ingram Cr and Hospital Cr drain the eastern slopes toward the Central Valley.
