About this map

Squaw Valley and Drum Valley anchor this Central California landscape, where private ranching estates define the local land-use patterns. Named properties such as the Stoddard Ranch, Nance Ranch, and Rector Ranch are connected by a network of winding roads like Ruth Hill Rd and Squaw Valley Rd. For local history and genealogy research, the Squaw Valley Cem provides a specific point of interest, while the Baker and Hall Airport marks a modern infrastructure hub in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

The terrain is marked by numerous peaks and ridges, including Washapie Mountain, Buttonwillow Peak, and Corn Jack Peak. Water resources are largely centered on Sand Cr, which feeds into the Sand Creek Reservoir in the southwest. The presence of smaller valley settlements like Shannon Valley and Shipes Valley reflects the tucked-away nature of these foothills as they transition into the higher elevations of Tucker Mountain and Goldstein Peak.
