2018 Map of Broadview Farms

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and straight-line roads in this 2018 survey. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Delta-Mendota Canal and a series of lift systems, including the First Lift Canal, Second Lift Canal, and Third Lift Canal, which facilitate water movement across the Central Valley. Small rural nodes such as Broadview Farms, Millux, Olive, and Buick are situated along a grid of thoroughfares like W Herndon Ave and N Fairfax Ave. The map illustrates the 21st-century geometry of industrial-scale farming, where the landscape is meticulously partitioned by township and range boundaries including t12s r13e and t13s r12e.
