Atwater and the northwestern reaches of Merced anchor this Central Valley landscape, which is defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural water management. The irrigation infrastructure is remarkably dense, featuring the Atwater Canal, Livingston Canal, and numerous smaller channels like the Bloss Lateral and Stickney Lateral that crisscross the valley floor. These man-made waterways operate alongside natural drainage systems such as Bear Creek and Hartley Slough, illustrating how the region's hydrology was engineered to support intensive cultivation.
