About this map

Agricultural development defines this portion of the Central Valley within the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is dominated by a rigid grid of namesake-labeled roads that reflect the regional citrus and nut industry, including Orange Grove Ave, Pistachio Rd, Navel Ave, Grapefruit St, Tangerine St, and Lemon St. These labels provide a literal map of the orchard crops that sustained the local economy in the early 21st century.

The topography is generally low-lying, shaped by seasonal drainage patterns such as Dyer Cr and Five Dog Cr. Near the center of the grid lies the Deepwell Ranch, a focal point of activity in an area otherwise characterized by industrial-scale farming, as suggested by the presence of Industrial Farm Rd. The map captures the highly organized, surveyed nature of California's interior farmland before shifting toward the more varied terrain visible at the eastern margins.
