2015 Map of Coit Ranch

About this map

The vast agricultural grid of the Central Valley dominates this landscape, defined by a rigid network of section lines and irrigation-ready topography. Coit Ranch serves as a primary local landmark within this productive expanse, situated west of Mendota and the settlement of Annedale. This map illustrates the transition from the mid-20th century ranching era into the highly structured commercial farming operations of the 21st century. The terrain is notably flat, typical of the San Joaquin Valley, with transportation routes like W Whitesbridge Ave and W Panoche Rd providing essential access through the immense fields. Geographers and local historians can observe how the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) has dictated the placement of every road, from S San Diego Ave to W California Ave, creating a landscape entirely shaped by administrative planning and industrial agriculture.
