2018 Map of Stockdale Mountain

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a diagonal path through this portion of the Diablo Range, defining the tectonic and topographic character of the region. This high-country landscape in Monterey County is marked by the Cholame Hills and several prominent peaks including Stockdale Mtn and Mid Mtn. The drainage pattern reflects this fractured geography, with Cholame Cr and Little Cholame Cr carving through the terrain. Evidence of early rural settlement is anchored by the Imusdale Cem near Vineyard Canyon, while the network of unpaved corridors like Slacks Canyon Rd and Middle Fork Rd provides access to the isolated canyons. From the tight passage at The Narrows to the broader reaches of Ranchito Canyon, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by both seismic forces and traditional ranching access.
