2015 Map of Terminous

About this map

King Island and the Empire Tract dominate this landscape of reclaimed delta lands in the San Joaquin Valley, where a complex network of waterways defines the geography. The settlement of Terminous sits at the junction of Little Potato Slough and the sloughs to the north, acting as a historical hub for the surrounding agricultural tracts. This 2015 edition documents the intricate system of levees and channels, including the Stockton Deep Water Channel and Disappointment Slough, that manage water across these low-lying reaches. Local transport follows the rectangular grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like N Peatland Rd and Guard Rd cutting across the fertile islands. To the south, numerous smaller islands such as Tule Island, Spud Island, and Hog Island pepper the San Joaquin River, illustrating the transition from large-scale agricultural tracts to the more fragmented riverine environment near Paradise Point.
