About this map

Semitropic Ridge anchors this landscape in the San Joaquin Valley, where the topography was shaped by both natural drainage and industrial water management. This area, updated with 1970s revisions, highlights an extensive network of waterfowl management areas and private hunting grounds. Multiple clubs are clearly delineated, including the Donald Duck Gun Club, Superior Gun Club, and Los Patos Gun Club, which relied on the local system of ditches and the Goose Lake Canal. The human footprint is defined by agricultural and industrial infrastructure, such as Dairy Avenue, the Cole Ranch, and scattered evidence of petroleum exploration including Oil Well (Aban'd) markers. A landing strip and various water storage features like the Reservoir indicate a rural economy focused on large-scale land management and seasonal sporting activities.
