Agricultural irrigation networks define the landscape of the San Joaquin Valley south of Fowler. This 2015 survey reveals the intricate system of waterways required to sustain the region's productivity, including the Fowler Switch Canal, Kirby Canal, and Harlan Stevens Ditch. The transit corridor is dominated by the diagonal path of the Ca 99 RR and S Golden State Blvd, which connect the larger hubs of Fowler and Selma. Smaller settlements and historic junctions like Monmouth, Conejo, and Wildflower are distributed along a rigid grid of country roads. Local aviation is well-represented, with Selma Airport, Quinn Airport, and the Central Valley Aviation Inc Airport scattered across the valley floor, while family-named landmarks such as Helmke Pond and Prather Pond suggest deep-rooted land ownership in this corner of Fresno County.
