About this map

The Tuolumne River winds through the southern portion of this Stanislaus County landscape, serving as a vital artery for the region's complex irrigation network. This survey illustrates the intricate water management systems of the Central Valley, where the Waterford Lower Main Canal, Modesto Main Canal, and Turlock Main Canal diverge to support local agriculture. The settlement of Waterford sits at the southwestern edge, while the smaller locale of Paulsell is situated further north along the Paulsell Extension.

Central to the area is the Modesto Reservoir, a significant water body fed by numerous laterals like Lateral Number Three. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Roberts Ferry Cem located near Yosemite Blvd. The map captures a high level of detail in the rural road network, including Warnerville Rd and Claribel Rd, which connect the scattered farmsteads and orchards of this productive valley floor.
