About this map

The Stanislaus River winds through the heart of this Central Valley landscape, defining the northern edge of Oakdale and East Oakdale. This 2015 survey illustrates a region where water management is paramount, showcased by a complex network of irrigation channels including the Oakdale North Main Canal, San Joaquin Main Canal, and numerous laterals like the Rodden Lateral and Cometa Lateral. These man-made waterways support the agricultural character of the San Joaquin Valley surrounding the town center.

To the north, the Woodward Reservoir serves as a major geographical feature, complete with named points such as Biscuit Point and Whale Island. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Citizens Cemetery and the Oakdale Airport, while the engineering of the era is evident in the Cape Horn Tunnel and the Orange Blossom Bridge. Small settlements like Adela and the newer developments in Central Valley further mark the area's continued growth.
