2018 Map of Kettleman City

About this map

Kettleman City sits at the southwestern edge of the fertile San Joaquin Valley, where the flat agricultural basin meets the rising slopes of the Kettleman Hills. This 2018 survey illustrates the critical water infrastructure supporting the region's industry, including the massive Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the diagonal course of the Blakeley Canal. The map reveals a landscape defined by a rigid grid of avenues such as Newton Ave and Quebec Ave, punctuated by specialized industrial and logistical markers like Kettleman Station and General Petroleum Ave. To the north, the Westlake Farms Airport serves the surrounding commercial farm operations, while the seasonal drainage of Arroyo Degollado cuts through the western foothills, providing a clear picture of how water management and topography dictate settlement patterns in this part of Kings County.
