2021 Map of Dudley Ridge

About this map

Dudley Ridge rises gently above the surrounding flatlands of the San Joaquin Valley, marking a subtle but significant topographical shift in this agricultural landscape. Part of the broader Central Valley geography, the area is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and irrigation infrastructure essential to the local economy. The presence of the Blakeley Canal and the Wilbur-Ditch underscores the intensive water management required for farming in Kings County. Named thoroughfares like Utica Ave and 21st Ave provide the primary framework for transit across these expansive fields. This survey captures the land as it appeared in 2021, showing the modern intersection of natural relief and human-engineered waterways in one of the world's most productive valley environments.
