About this map

Fairmead and Berenda serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural corridor of Madera County, anchored by the diagonal transit of Golden State Blvd. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of avenues and the critical irrigation infrastructure of the Central Valley, including the Califa Canal and numerous distribution channels like Califa Lateral A through Califa Lateral D. This network supports large-scale operations such as the Machado Farms Dairy in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Local aviation is well-represented by the Chowchilla Airport in the northwest and the private Sallaberry Ranch Strip Airport further east, reflecting the area's reliance on aerial crop dusting and regional transport. To the north, the small community of Sharon sits along the intersection of Avenue 24 and the railroad corridor, while natural drainage like Dry Cr and the Dixieland Ditch provide a contrast to the engineered precision of the surrounding orchard and field blocks.
