2012 Map of Dos Palos

About this map

The town of Dos Palos serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Merced County, where an intricate irrigation network supports the valley's productivity. The map highlights the engineered waterways essential to the region, including the massive Delta-Mendota Canal and the local Colony Branch Number Two Canal. The grid of rural roads, such as Santa Fe Grade and Mallard Rd, connects outlying settlements and agricultural operations like Gable Ranch and Brito to the central hub. To the south, the settlement of Oro Loma and the historic Eagle Field landing strip stand out as notable landmarks within the flat, expansive terrain. The layout of South Dos Palos and the proximity of the Dos Palos Airport reflect the region's mid-century development and its continued reliance on a mix of aviation and ground-based transit to move people and goods across the Central Valley.
