2018 Map of Five Points

About this map

Five Points serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape within the wider San Joaquin Valley. The map reveals a grid of rural infrastructure, where major routes like W Mount Whitney Ave and S Madera Ave intersect to support the local farming economy. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, visible through the systematic routing of the Stinson Canal, Crescent Ditch, and the meandering course of Fresno Slough in the northeast. These features highlight the complex irrigation networks required for large-scale cultivation in the Central Valley. Evidence of earlier transit patterns remains in named thoroughfares such as Elkhorn Grade, which cuts diagonally across the established section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
