2012 Map of Kerman

About this map

Agricultural and industrial patterns of the San Joaquin Valley are visible in the grid-based layout of Kerman. The town's concentrated residential blocks contrast with the surrounding orchard and field lands, which are supported by a complex irrigation network including the Deadwood Ditch, Thompson Extension Canal, and Dry Creek Canal. To the south, the landscape shifts toward industrial activity at the Raisin City Oil Field, a significant landmark for the regional petroleum economy. Local transportation is defined by long, straight arterial routes like W Kearney Blvd and S McMullin Grade, which facilitate the movement of goods from the fields and oil wells. Other features such as Bland Field and the central Po locate key community and aviation infrastructure within this highly managed landscape.
