2021 Map of Guernsey

About this map

The settlement of Guernsey anchors this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, sitting at the junction of several arterial roads and agricultural water systems. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage features, including the New Deal Canal, Lone Oak Canal, and Tulare Lake Canal. These man-made waterways intermingle with natural remnants of the hydrology of the Central Valley, such as Mussel Slough, Lone Oak Slough, and Sand Slough. The surveyed grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible, with section lines and township boundaries like t19s r21e determining the placement of local roads including Jersey Ave and Kansas Ave. This map provides a detailed view of the industrial-scale agricultural infrastructure required to manage water in this arid but fertile region.
