2021 Map of Wunpost

About this map

The Salinas River carves a path through the southern Monterey County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and water in this arid region. The settlement of Wunpost is positioned near the riverbanks, where the valley floor begins its ascent into a complex network of ridges and drainage systems. This 2021 survey illustrates how the local topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Semas Mtn and expansive corridors like Swain Valley and Hames Valley. The map reveals a land divided by dozens of distinct canyons, including Portuguese Canyon, Sargent Canyon, and Walker Canyon, which have historically shaped the routes of local thoroughfares like Sargents Rd and Railroad St. For the researcher, this sheet provides a high-resolution view of the interplay between the river valley's agricultural potential and the demanding terrain of the surrounding hills.
