About this map

The Stanislaus River and Tuolumne River define this fertile agricultural corridor just before the mid-century expansion of the Central Valley. Irrigation infrastructure is remarkably dense, featuring the Modesto Canal and Ceres Canal, which supported the surrounding orchard and dairy economies. The landscape is a grid of early 20th-century development, anchored by the growing hubs of Modesto and Turlock.
