About this map

Dairy farming and intricate irrigation systems define this San Joaquin Valley landscape just north of the Stanislaus River. The central settlement of Avena is surrounded by numerous family-run agricultural operations, including Gomes Dairy, Bartelink Dairy, and Red Rock Dairy. This grid-based rural community is structured by a network of canals and creeks, most notably the Main District Canal and the meandering path of Lone Tree Cr.

A string of small named locales like Simms, Wagner, Carrollton, and Alba follow the primary east-west road corridor, reflecting the historical distribution of shipping points and rural social centers in the early 21st century. The map also captures the periphery of Atlanta to the west, showing the transition from open agricultural fields to organized township blocks near the southern edge of the quadrangle.
