The agricultural grid of the San Joaquin Valley is the defining feature of this 2015 study, centered on the town of Huron. The landscape is dominated by a systematic network of section roads like S Madera Ave and W Jayne Ave, which partition the fertile Central Valley floor. A massive piece of water infrastructure, the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, bisects the region from north to south, illustrating the engineering required to sustain industrial-scale farming in this arid environment. Near the southern edge, the Fresno Co Kings Co boundary line runs through open fields just north of the Avenal Cutoff Rd, marking the geopolitical transition between these two prominent agricultural counties.
