2015 Map of Avenal

About this map

The city of Avenal anchors the southeastern corner of this map, revealing a precise residential grid defined by streets such as Skyline Blvd and E Alpine St. This modern survey illustrates the complex geography where the San Joaquin Valley meets the inner Coast Ranges. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Kettleman Hills, featuring distinctive peaks and formations like North Dome, Elephant Hill, and La Lomera. To the west, the Kettleman Plain separates these heights from the Kreyenhagen Hills. Numerous ephemeral drainages, including Arroyo Seco and Zapato Chino Cr, carve through the landscape, illustrating the hydraulic patterns of this arid region. The presence of the Avenal Airport and proximity to Coalinga suggest the area's ongoing importance as a regional hub for aviation and transit within the Central Valley.
