2018 Map of Crows Landing

About this map

Crows Landing sits at the heart of a highly structured agricultural landscape in the San Joaquin Valley, where the geometry of irrigation canals and local roads defines the terrain. The map traces the winding course of the San Joaquin River as it meanders past Pear Slough and under the Crows Landing Bridge. To the northwest, the outskirts of Patterson and Modesto appear, while the Delta-Mendota Canal cuts a straight line through the valley floor. The extensive network of named laterals, such as Lateral Three N and Lateral G, illustrates the complex water management system essential to this region. Small settlements like Jet and Central Valley punctuate the grid of orchards and fields, connected by a dense web of avenues named for the local flora, including Apricot Ave and Sycamore Ave.
