2018 Map of Lillis Ranch

About this map

Giffen Cantua Ranch and Lillis Ranch define the agricultural and pastoral footprint of this Fresno County landscape, where the flat floor of the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising slopes of the Diablo Range. The terrain transitions sharply from the organized grid of the Central Valley to the complex topography of the Ciervo Hills and Big Blue Hills. This geography is shaped by intermittent drainages such as Arroyo Hondo and Cantua Creek, which cut through Monocline Ridge. Water sources like Green Water Spring and Sulphur Spring provide critical landmarks in an area dominated by large-scale ranching and the transit corridor of the Coalinga-Mendota Road. The map preserves the specific boundary lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how township and range divisions dictated the layout of roads like S Derrick Ave and W Elkhorn Ave.
