2015 Map of Stockdale Mountain

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a visible path through this portion of Monterey County, marking the dramatic geological divide between the Diablo Range and the surrounding high country. This landscape is defined by its series of deep canyons and prominent peaks, including Stockdale Mtn and the Cholame Hills. The drainage network, featuring Cholame Cr and its tributaries like Nelson Cr and Little Cholame Cr, dictates the placement of early travel routes such as Vineyard Canyon Rd and Portuguese Canyon Rd. For those tracing local history, the Imusdale Cem stands as a quiet marker of the area's pioneer past. The map also highlights distinctive physical landmarks like The Narrows, where the terrain constricts between the ridges of Middle Mtn and the eastern canyons.
