2018 Map of Los Viejos

About this map

The Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct cuts a massive diagonal through this Kings County landscape, illustrating the critical infrastructure required for agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley. Adjacent to the aqueduct, the Blakeley Canal further emphasizes the managed water system of the Central Valley. To the west, the arid terrain rises into the Kettleman Hills, featuring distinctive topographic markers such as Mustang Hill, Bullwheel Ridge, and North Dome. Several small settlements and local place names like Kettleman Station and Los Médanos line the transport corridors, while more traditional Spanish-named locations such as La Salida, La Llanura, and La Escudilla are scattered across the valley floor. The map also traces the seasonal drainage patterns of various arroyos, including Arroyo Culebrino and Arroyo Recodo, which carve through the dry hills and basins.
