2021 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier serves as the central point of this modern survey of the San Joaquin Valley, where the landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents a highly developed agricultural corridor within the Central Valley, characterized by a dense network of local roads including Montpelier Rd, Lake Rd, and E Monte Vista Ave. Water management remains central to the region's character, evidenced by the Turlock Main Canal cutting across the northwestern corner. A notable jurisdictional boundary is recorded in the southern portion of the sheet, where the Stanislaus Co and Merced Co line divides the agricultural tracts. The terrain is relatively uniform, typical of the valley floor, yet the distribution of residential streets like Kooyman St and Hidden Hills Rd reveals the contemporary pattern of rural and suburban settlement in this part of California.
