2015 Map of Cantua Creek

About this map

Cantua Creek sits at the heart of this agricultural survey, illustrating the organized grid of the Central Valley during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a dense network of transit corridors, including James Rd and S San Mateo Ave, which facilitate the movement of goods and resources across the San Joaquin Valley. A massive piece of infrastructure, the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, cuts diagonally through the southwestern corner, signifying the critical role of water management in this arid region. The map provides a look at the Township and Range system in practice, with boundaries such as t15s r15e and t16s r16e clearly delineated. Local thoroughfares like W Manning Ave and W Floral Ave connect the various farm plots and residential clusters that characterize this productive reach of Fresno County.
