2015 Map of Gustine

About this map

The San Joaquin River and Merced River converge in this fertile stretch of the northern San Joaquin Valley, creating a complex hydrologic landscape defined by seasonal waterways and agricultural infrastructure. To the west, the city of Gustine anchors the map near the Gustine Airport, while the historic site of Hills Ferry sits near the confluence, marking an area once vital for river transport. The map reveals the intricate management of the Central Valley water system through features like the East-Side-Irrigation-Canal, Newman Waste-Way, and Eagle Ditch. Local history is preserved at the Sunnyside Cemetery near Stevinson, providing a genealogical anchor for the community. The presence of Mud Slough and Shag Slough further illustrates the low-lying, marshy character of the terrain that has been carefully adapted for irrigation and regional transit.
