2015 Map of Winters Ridge

About this map

The Tehachapi Mountains and the southern extent of the Sierra Nevada converge on this 2015 map of Kern County. The landscape is defined by its extreme verticality, dominated by the prominent Winters Ridge and the complex drainage systems of Tunis Cr and Pastoria Cr. Numerous water sources are identified throughout the canyons, providing vital points of reference for local land use, including Cow Chip Spring, Purdie Spring, and Elderberry Springs. To the east, the topography includes Lopez Flats and a series of deep cuts such as Canyon del Gato-Montes and Woodchoppers Canyon. This survey captures the intricate network of ridgelines and watercourses, including Geghus Ridge and Purdie Ridge, that characterize this high-elevation region of the southern California interior.
