2012 Map of El Nido
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
El Nido and the surrounding agricultural lands of Merced County are defined by a complex network of water management features designed to sustain the region's dairy and farming industry. The landscape is crisscrossed by an orderly grid of roads and water conveyances, including the El Nido Canal, Lateral Five, and the Lingard Lateral. These structures feed the El Nido Reservoir and support numerous local operations such as Rock-Shar Dairy, Hoogendam Dairy, and Five H Farms. In the north, North Slough Mariposa Creek meanders toward Lingard, while the 59 Duck Club Airport serves as a distinct landmark amidst the fields. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century when the Central Valley's intensive irrigation-based economy remained the dominant force shaping the community and its geography.
