2015 Map of Kettleman City

About this map

Kettleman City sits at the southwestern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, where the flat agricultural basin meets the rising terrain of the Kettleman Hills. This landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure required to move water through the arid valley, most notably the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Blakeley Canal which cut diagonally across the terrain. The town's grid is small and compact, centered around streets like Milham St and Edward St, while the surrounding land is divided into large rectangular sections typical of industrial-scale farming. To the north, the Westlake Farms Airport serves the area's agricultural needs. Natural drainage is marked by features like the Arroyo Degollado, which carves through the hills toward the valley floor, illustrating the contrast between the engineered water systems and the natural topography of Kings County.
