About this map

The San Joaquin River snakes through this agricultural landscape, defining the character of the Central Valley near the community of Crows Landing. The map highlights a complex network of irrigation and water management essential to the region's dairy and farming operations, including the Delta-Mendota Canal and the Main Canal. Evidence of the local dairy industry is pervasive, with named properties such as Mendes Dairy, Amorim Dairy, and the uniquely named Moonshine Dairy scattered across the grid.

Transport and transit infrastructure are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Crows Landing Bridge and a grid of roads named for the valley's diverse agricultural output, such as Apricot Ave, Prune Ave, and Almond Ave. The presence of Lake Ramona and Pear Slough alongside family operations like Kamiska Farms and De Pauw Farms reflects a landscape deeply committed to large-scale production while maintaining individual property identities.
