2012 Map of Buttonwillow

About this map

Buttonwillow serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Kern County, situated at the base of Buttonwillow Ridge. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for local industry, including the East Side Canal, Eightyfoot Ditch, and Sudan Ditch. Large-scale ranching and dairy operations are prominent, with Mirasol Ranch, Deep Wells Ranch, and Goyenetche Dairy anchoring the rural economy. Transportation corridors such as Wasco Way and Snow Rd bisect the grid of fields, linking the community to smaller named locales like Kilowatt and Bowerbank. The presence of features like Jerry Slough and the Elk Grove Drain further illustrates the complex hydrological engineering used to sustain this Central Valley region.
