2018 Map of Newman

About this map

The Central Valley agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley is defined by a complex network of water management features, including the massive Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal. This western Stanislaus County region, as it appeared in the late 2010s, showcases the towns of Newman and Gustine nestled between the foothills and the fertile floor. The map traces the path of Orestimba Cr as it flows from the western heights near Poverty Flat toward the valley. Local history is anchored by the San Joachim Cem and small rail-adjacent locales like Stomar and Timba. The geometric precision of field roads like W Stuhr Rd and Orestimba Rd highlights the intensive land use and irrigation infrastructure required for this industrial farming corridor.
