2015 Map of Stokes Mountain

About this map

Stokes Mtn and the neighboring Sawyer Peak anchor the transition between the rising Sierra Nevada foothills and the fertile lowlands of the San Joaquin Valley. This modern survey reveals a landscape defined by the critical movement of water through the Friant-Kern Canal and the Alta E Br Canal, which irrigate the agricultural reaches of Woodlake Valley. The complex topography is marked by deeply cut drainages such as Stone Corral Canyon and Wilcox Canyon, where seasonal flows like Moore Cr and Grapevine Cr descend from the peaks. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road network, showing the grid-like development of avenues and roads that serve the orchards and ranches at the base of Cliff Peak and Curtis Mtn.
