About this map

Gustine serves as the primary hub in this corner of the San Joaquin Valley, where the town layout meets the industrial infrastructure of the Gustine Airport and a complex network of Duck Ponds. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the San Joaquin River and the Merced River, creating a riparian corridor rich with history and conservation. Recreational and social gathering points like George J Hatfield State Park and Fremont Ford State Park sit alongside private institutions like the Newman Gun Club and Lone Tree Gun Club, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to waterfowl hunting and river access.

Transportation patterns are visible in the Old Santa Fe Grade and the grid of rural routes such as Turner Avenue and Hultberg Road. Agricultural management is evident through features like the Side Irrigation Canal and Eagle Ditch, which redirect water through the low-lying reaches of San Luis Island. The presence of the Stevinson Sunnyside Cem and the Stevinson Home Ranch highlights the settled family lineages that shaped this river-bottom territory.
