2015 Map of Brush Lake

About this map

The Tuolumne River and San Joaquin River converge in this fertile stretch of the San Joaquin Valley, creating a landscape defined by complex water management and agricultural grid patterns. In the northern reaches, the community of Riverdale Park sits along the banks of the Tuolumne, while the outskirts of Modesto extend into the central map area. The intricate network of irrigation and drainage, including Westport Drain, Hatch Drain, and the Lower Lateral Number Two and One-Half, illustrates the engineering required to sustain the region's intensive farming.
