The Fresno River meanders across this landscape in Madera County, carving a natural path through an otherwise orderly grid of agricultural roads. This 2012 survey illustrates the systematic division of the Central Valley, where numbered avenues and roads define the territory between the river and Dry Creek. The map documents localized settlements and agricultural centers such as Bonita Ranch and the small community of Bonita. Cultural and infrastructure landmarks are sparse but significant, including the New Hope Cem and El Peco Ranch, which features its own private landing strip at El Peco Ranch Airport. The presence of the Gravelly Ford Canal and Airport Ditch highlights the critical role of water management and irrigation in sustaining the surrounding ranch lands and orchards.
