About this map

The San Emigdio Mountains rise sharply in the south, marking a dramatic transition to the flat agricultural floor of the San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management infrastructure, most notably the Governor-Edmund-G-Brown-California-Aqueduct which cuts horizontally across the terrain to move water through the Central Valley. Natural drainage systems such as San Emigdio Cr, Muddy Cr, and Los Lobos Cr flow out of the highlands toward the irrigated plains below. The grid-based road network, including Copus Rd and Valpredo Ave, reflects a highly organized rural land system designed for large-scale production. Smaller water features like the Kern Ditch County Drain further illustrate the intensive modification of the local hydrology to support the valley's development.
