About this map

Avenal sits at the base of the Kettleman Hills, anchoring a landscape defined by the transition between the San Joaquin Valley and the uplifted terrain of the Kreyenhagen Hills. This 2021 survey documents the residential grid of the town, featuring thoroughfares like E Laneva Blvd and E Kern St, as it interfaces with the agricultural and petroleum-producing heritage of the Kettleman Plain.

Ephemeral watercourses, including Zapato Chino Cr and Garza Cr, drain the higher elevations, carving through features such as Zapato Chino Canyon and Mantes Canyon. Notable landmarks such as North Dome and Elephant Hill reflect the geological significance of this region, while the northern boundary reaches toward Coalinga near the Polvadero Gap, illustrating the connective corridors of western Kings County.
