2012 Map of Ceres

About this map

The Tuolumne River winds along the northern edge of this Central Valley landscape, defining the boundary between the urban expansion of Bystrom and the more industrial and agricultural corridor of Ceres. This early 21st-century survey highlights a region shaped by a complex water management system, including the Ceres Main Canal and various irrigation laterals like Lower Lateral Number Three. The transportation network is dominated by the diagonal path of the Pacific Western railroad, which historically fueled the development of these San Joaquin Valley settlements.
