2012 Map of Tent Hills

About this map

Avenal Ridge and the Tent Hills define the high country of this interior landscape in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Acebedo, showing a sparsely populated region dominated by private landholdings and rugged canyons. Significant ranching locations like Iron Spring Ranch, Acebedo Ranch, and Fahey Ranch are situated among the peaks, suggesting the area's ongoing agricultural and pastoral utility. Transportation through the hills is marked by the winding route over Cottonwood Pass and the rugged Little Avenal Creek Trl. Water sources are vital but seasonal, represented by the drainages of Avenal Cr, Little Avenal Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. The survey details a landscape where elevation and water dictate the locations of human activity, from the depths of Lovel Canyon to the heights of Johnson Peak.
