2018 Map of Plainsburg

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape here is defined by an intricate network of waterways and a rigid grid of agricultural roads. Several historic settlements punctuate the terrain, including Le Grand, Plainsburg, and Athlone, while the northern reach of Chowchilla extends into the southern edge of the survey. The Helm-Turner Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark, located south of Mariposa Creek. The land's hydrological history is visible in the various branches of the slough system, including North Slough, Middle Slough, and South Slough, which weave through the agricultural parcels alongside Deadman Cr. The arrival of the railroad and highways, such as those passing through Minturn, historically facilitated the movement of goods through this productive region of the Central Valley.
