About this map

Fresno Slough meanders across this Central Valley landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural parcels and energy extraction. The small settlements of Burrel and Lanare serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmstead network, which includes landmarks like the Mick Oliveira Farm. The industrial footprint of the early 21st century is evident through the Riverdale Oil Field and the Lanare Oil Field, illustrating the dual importance of petroleum and produce in Fresno County.

Educational and military infrastructure further define the community's layout, seen at the Glendora School and the northern reaches of the Lemoore Naval Air Sta. Aviation is a recurring theme, with the Swanson Ranch Number 2 Airport tucked among the grid of rural roads like W Mount Whitney Ave. Near the southern edge, the convergence of Sand Slough with larger waterways highlights the complex drainage systems essential to this valley's geography.
