About this map

Agricultural grid lines and irrigation channels define this portion of the San Joaquin Valley just before the mid-2010s. The small settlement of Pond sits at the intersection of Pond Rd and Wasco-Pond Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads. To the south, the community of Elmo is positioned along the same north-south transit corridor, illustrating the linear development pattern common to California's Central Valley.

Water management is central to the landscape, evidenced by the presence of Poso Cr and the Calloway Canal. The map reveals a highly organized network of local roads named for early regional families and landmarks, such as Mettler Ave, Lytle Ave, and Stradley Ave. Specialized land use is noted at Jer-Z-Boys Dairy Number 2, highlighting the area's ongoing connection to large-scale dairy production and commercial farming.
