About this map

Fresno spreads into the southern reaches of this landscape, where the San Joaquin River defines the border between Madera and Fresno Counties. The river valley is a complex network of waterways and low-lying landforms, including Island Number One, Cobbs Island, and the eponymous Lanes Bridge crossing. To the north, the terrain transitions from the agricultural flats of the San Joaquin Valley toward the rising slopes of Little Table Mtn, which dominates the northeastern corner.

Suburban development patterns are evident in the established grids of Madera Ranchos and the newer residential layouts of Rolling Hills. Water management is a primary theme of the area's infrastructure, seen in the engineered path of the Madera Canal and the natural meanders of Root Cr and Little Dry Cr. Industrial activity is represented by the Brick works located near the intersection of Avenue 10 and Road 40, anchoring the transition from open range to developed residential tracts.
