The expansive Buena Vista Lake Bed dominates the central topography of this Southern San Joaquin Valley survey, showing a landscape defined by industrial-scale water management during the early 1930s. The intricate network of the Stine Canal, Buena Vista Canal, and both the Old Rim Ditch and New Rim Ditch illustrates the era's transformation of the basin for agricultural use. Settlements are sparse but strategically located, such as Millux and Paloma, which sits near the Paloma Sch.
