About this map

The agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley south of Fresno is defined by a dense network of irrigation channels, including the Fancher Cr Canal, Briggs Canal, and Fowler Switch Canal. This 2021 survey shows the urban expansion of Fresno's southern outskirts reaching toward Malaga and Calwa, while educational landmarks like Fresno Pacific University and the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary anchor the residential neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Goldleaf.

Further south, the city of Fowler remains a distinct hub amidst a grid of orchards and vineyards. The map captures the transitional character of this region, where large-scale infrastructure like Turner Field and the Central Canal coexist with smaller agricultural communities like Lone Star, Mattei, and Cecile. The persistence of named ditches and canals, such as the Hansen Canal and Oleander Canal, highlights the enduring reliance on engineered water systems in this part of Fresno County.
