2000 Map of Tumey Hills

About this map

The Vallecitos Oil Field and surrounding terrain at the boundary of Fresno and San Benito counties are meticulously documented in this late-twentieth-century study. This arid landscape is defined by the heavy presence of resource extraction, with numerous Oil Wells and Prospects scattered across the high ground of the Panoche Hills and Tumey Hills. The drainage network, including Panoche Creek and Silver Creek, cuts deep through the topography, with a Gaging Station monitoring the flow in the northern sector. High points like VABM Griswold provide survey control for this sparsely populated region where industrial activity and complex landforms meet. The map reveals the intricate system of unimproved roads and pipelines necessary to service the local energy infrastructure within these California ranges.
