2012 Map of Newman

About this map

Newman sits at the heart of this Central Valley landscape, where the traditional agricultural grid meets the massive engineering works of the mid-20th century. The town's detailed street plan, including the central Po, is bordered by the San Joachim Cem to the northwest. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex water management systems essential to the region's productivity, dominated by the parallel courses of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal. These massive arteries cut across Poverty Flat and intersect natural drainages like Orestimba Cr. Along the outskirts, small rail-side or crossroads locales such as Stomar and Timba provide evidence of the area's historical shipping and transit points, while the Newman Waste-Way and Sullivan Extension further demonstrate the intricate plumbing of the California water system.
