2018 Map of Bonita Ranch

About this map

Bonita Ranch and the neighboring settlement of Bonita anchor this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, a landscape defined by an extensive grid of agricultural roads and irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals the critical role of water management in Madera County, tracing the Fresno River and its various offshoots including Airport Ditch and the Gravelly Ford Canal. The regularity of the terrain is punctuated by localized hubs of activity, such as the El Peco Ranch Airport and the New Hope Cem located near the intersection of Ave 11. This 2018 survey captures the region's structured rural character, from the small clusters of buildings at Central Valley to the namesake ranching operations. The detailed network of avenues, ranging from Ave 17 down to Ave 9, illustrates the systematic organization of this fertile valley floor.
