2015 Map of Paulsell

About this map

The Tuolumne River winds through the southern edge of this landscape, anchoring an intricate network of agricultural irrigation that defines the San Joaquin Valley. Significant water infrastructure, including the Turlock Main Canal, Waterford Lower Main Canal, and multiple laterals like the Paulsell Lateral, demonstrates the managed hydrology of the Central Valley. The map shows the growth of Waterford in the southwest, while the smaller settlement of Paulsell lies further north along Claribel Rd. To the east, the Modesto Reservoir provides a major landmark for local history and recreation, near the Roberts Ferry Cemetery. This 2015 update details the modern road grid, including Tim Bell Rd and Yosemite Blvd, overlaying the traditional section lines of the survey.
