2012 Map of Broadview Farms

About this map

Delta-Mendota Canal defines the northern reaches of this landscape, carving through a highly structured agricultural grid in western Fresno County. This area represents the engineering-led expansion of California’s Central Valley, where water management systems like the Second Lift Canal sustain established farming operations. Named agricultural holdings such as Lyon and Hoag Ranch, Belmont Farms, and the namesake Broadview Farms illustrate the legacy of large-scale land development in the region. The map captures a transition point in rural infrastructure, marked by the long diagonal of the Santa Fe Grade cutting across the geometric precision of the local road network. Smaller hubs like Millux are connected by a series of north-south arteries including N Millux Ave and N Brannon Ave, anchoring this workspace of the San Joaquin Valley.
