About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape around Stevinson is defined by an intricate network of water management and river systems as they appeared in 2015. The Merced River flows through the northern reaches, crossed by the Milliken Bridge, while the San Joaquin River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. This area represents a critical intersection of natural hydrology and agricultural engineering, evidenced by a dense grid of laterals and canals such as the East Side Irrigation Canal, McCoy Lateral, and Adams Ditch.

South of the main settlement and the Stevinson Strip, the terrain transitions into more wetland-oriented features. Researchers can trace the path of the Raccoon Marsh Trail and Woody Marsh Trail near numerous sloughs, including Bear Slough and Bravel Slough. The presence of Lake Honda and the extensive marsh trails suggest a pocket of the Central Valley where riparian habitats and seasonal water bodies like Deep Slough persist alongside established ranch roads and irrigation works.
