2018 Map of Guernsey

About this map

Guernsey sits at the intersection of agricultural ingenuity and historical topography in this 2018 survey of the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management features, reflecting over a century of irrigation development in the Central Valley. Historic natural features like Mussel Slough, Jacobs Slough, and Lone Oak Slough are interwoven with man-made infrastructure such as the Tulare Lake Canal and New Deal Canal. The grid of the township system, including segments of t19s r21e and t20s r21e, organizes the territory, while the Santa Fe Ave corridor provides a clear transit axis through the heart of the region. This document captures the modern state of these critical water systems, from the Independent Ditch to Cross Creek, which sustain the local economy.
