2015 Map of Herndon

About this map

The San Joaquin River defines the northern reaches of this territory, marking the boundary between Madera and Fresno counties within the fertile San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is characterized by an intricate and extensive network of water management features, critical to the region's agricultural productivity. Named irrigation works like the Herndon Canal, Kennedy Owens Canal, and Teague School Canal crisscross the grid-patterned terrain, alongside smaller channels such as Barcus Ditch and Silvia Ditch. Small community clusters including Herndon, Highway City, and Barstow anchor the area, while major transit corridors like N Golden State Blvd provide the primary connections between these rural and suburban pockets. The map illustrates a mature water distribution system serving a developed valley landscape.
