2012 Map of Patterson

About this map

Patterson serves as the focal point of this Central Valley landscape, where the town's distinctive radial street pattern is clearly visible. The local economy is defined by a sophisticated water management system, anchored by the massive Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal slicing diagonally through the terrain. To the west, the landscape transitions into the foothills near Del Puerto Canyon, while the eastern flats are subdivided by irrigation features like the Hirshfield Lateral and agricultural infrastructure such as Beltran Farms. This 2012 survey shows the modern footprint of the region, including the Patterson Airport and water management facilities like First Lift and Second Lift, which underscore the critical role of engineered water transport in sustaining the valley's intensive agricultural industry.
