About this map

The agricultural landscape of central Fresno County is defined here by a precise grid of irrigation and transport, centered on the historic settlements of Monmouth and Conejo. The Fowler Switch Canal and Elkhorn Ditch cut diagonally across the rigid section lines, reflecting the vital water infrastructure necessary for the region's productive agricultural operations. Family-named agricultural sites such as Nash Farms, Leyland Farms, and A-G Sod Farms populate the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the enduring legacy of local land ownership and farming history.

Aviation and transit play a significant role in this 2012 survey, with Selma Airport, Quinn Airport, and the Central Valley Aviation Incorporated Airport serving the area. The corridor of S Golden State Blvd provides a major thoroughfare through the northeast, passing near the Fowler Cem. Numerous named water bodies like Willow Lake, Helmke Pond, and Benight Pond are scattered throughout the agricultural blocks, serving as critical points for local water management and landmarks for genealogists tracing ancestral property lines.
