2012 Map of Malaga

About this map

Fowler and Sunnyside anchor this survey of the San Joaquin Valley’s agricultural and academic landscape. The map details the organized grid of the Fresno area, where industrial and educational sites like Fresno Pacific University sit alongside the extensive irrigation infrastructure that supports the region's productivity. A network of canals, including the Fancher Cr Canal, the North Branch Oleander Canal, and the Fowler Switch Canal, cuts through the valley floor, highlighting the critical role of water management in this horticultural hub. Small settlements and named locales such as Goldleaf, Locans, and Malaga are interspersed between large-scale research facilities like the United States Dept Agriculture Horticultural station. The geography is further defined by the transit corridor of S Golden State Blvd, which parallels several smaller rail and road routes connecting these disparate farming and residential communities.
