2018 Map of Madera

About this map

Madera stands as the primary hub of this Central Valley landscape, its urban grid bisected by a prominent rail corridor and the course of the Fresno River. The surrounding geography is defined by an intricate network of irrigation features, including the Main Canal, Cody Ditch, and Ripperdan Ditch, which support the region's agricultural character. To the south, the settlement of Italian Swiss Colony reflects the area's viticultural history, while Arbor Vitae Cem and Madera Municipal Airport serve as established landmarks on the city's periphery. Smaller communities such as Parkwood, Borden, and Storey trace the transportation routes, illustrating the pattern of residential growth and industry along the valley's transit backbone. The map also captures several drainage laterals and ditches like Burgess Lateral and Kenney Ditch, essential to the water management systems of the San Joaquin Valley.
