2015 Map of Broadview Farms

About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture dominates this landscape within the larger Central Valley of California. The map highlights the critical water infrastructure necessary for industrial-scale farming, specifically the Delta-Mendota Canal and its associated distribution systems including the Second Lift Canal and Third Lift Canal. These engineered waterways cut across a strictly gridded landscape of township and range sections, supporting the settlement of Broadview Farms. The area is defined by a dense network of transit corridors such as W Herndon Ave and W Bullard Ave, which facilitate the movement of goods and labor across these fertile plains. The geometric precision of the irrigation channels and road network reflects a highly managed environment designed for agricultural efficiency in the mid-2010s.
