2018 Map of Malaga

About this map

The agricultural heart of the San Joaquin Valley is defined by a dense grid of irrigation channels and established communities southeast of Fresno. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex water management network essential to the region, featuring an intricate system of canals such as the Washington Colony Canal, Oleander Canal, and Fowler Switch Canal. These waterways intersect a landscape of citrus groves and vineyards, weaving through historic agricultural hubs like Malaga, Calwa, and Lone Star. In the northern portion of the map, institutional landmarks like the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary and Fresno Pacific Univ mark the outward growth of the urban core into Sunnyside. To the south, the city of Fowler sits along the S Golden State Blvd corridor, illustrating the long-standing relationship between transportation routes and the valley's development.
