2012 Map of Levis

About this map

The Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct dominates this Central Valley landscape, cutting a diagonal path through the grid of agricultural roads in western Fresno County. This 2012 survey captures the engineering required to sustain industrial-scale farming in a region defined by its strictly ordered township-and-range layout. Small agricultural hubs and junctions such as Levis and Panoche Junction serve as reference points within a network of named avenues like W Manning Ave and S San Diego Ave. To the south, the natural drainage of Arroyo Ciervo provides a sharp contrast to the straight-line irrigation channels, illustrating the intersection of the natural desert wash with human-made water management. The map also documents localized centers of activity like Midway Ranch and Three Rocks, which stand as significant landmarks for those tracing the rural development and modern land use of this arid agricultural corridor.
