About this map

The confluence of the Merced River and the San Joaquin River dominates the western edge of this Central Valley landscape. Water management defines the region, where the East Side Irrigation Canal and a network of laterals—including the McCoy Lateral, Titus Lateral, and Howard Lateral—distribute water across a grid of agricultural blocks. The settlement of Stevinson sits near the intersection of Lander Ave and several numbered avenues, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranchlands.

To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex of wetlands and drainage networks. Extensive sloughs and creeks, such as Bear Slough, Gravel Slough, and Bear Creek, crisscross the area. Local trails like Raccoon Marsh Trl and Woody Marsh Trl provide access through these riparian zones, highlighting the balance between intensive irrigation farming and the natural waterways of the San Joaquin Valley.
