About this map

The town of Gustine and the settlement at Ingomar anchor this Central Valley landscape, dominated by a complex network of water management and seasonal wetlands. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of early 1970s land use, where the agricultural grid meets the marshy terrain of the Duck Ponds and the San Luis Holding Reservoir. A notable concentration of private sporting clubs, including the Gustine Gun Club, Oakland Gun Club, and Salinas Gun Club, are situated along the Old Santa Fe Grade and the various sloughs and ditches that feed the basin.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by the Southern Pacific Railroad corridor running northwest-southeast, supporting agricultural shipping points like the Linora Pumping Sta. Local water movement is meticulously recorded through features such as the San Luis Wasteway and the Kesterson Ditch, which redirect flow from Los Banos Creek and Garzas Creek to manage the flood-prone valley floor.
