2015 Map of Belridge

About this map

Missouri Triangle and the small settlement of Belridge serve as focal points for this portion of the western San Joaquin Valley, where the industrial character of the oil fields meets the vast infrastructure of the Central Valley. The landscape is defined by a dense network of roads supporting local resource extraction, including Discovery Well Rd, Roustabout Rd, and Poleline Rd. These routes crisscross the arid terrain, leading toward the Temblor Valley and seasonal drainage paths like Chico Martinez Cr and Salt Cr. To the east, the massive Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct cuts a straight line across the valley floor, illustrating the scale of water engineering necessary to sustain this region. The map highlights the intersection of transportation and utility, with the Lerdo Hwy and W Side Hwy framing the area's development.
