2015 Map of Avena

About this map

Escalon and the northern outskirts of Ripon anchor this 2015 survey of the San Joaquin Valley floor. The landscape is defined by a dense, rectilinear grid of rural roads and irrigation patterns, reflecting the area's intensive agricultural character. Small named clusters and historical sidings like Avena, Simms, and Van Allen are situated along primary transportation corridors, including the rail lines and Yosemite Ave. This network of small settlements suggests the enduring importance of local shipping points for the surrounding orchards and fields. To the west, Atlanta sits near the intersection of French Camp Rd and Tide Rd, while the ephemeral drainage of Lone Tree Cr cuts diagonally across the township lines of t1s r8e and t1s r9e. The map captures the boundary between San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties as it follows the southern roads near the river corridor.
