2015 Map of Tres Picos Farms

About this map

Tres Picos Farms sits within the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, characterized by the massive agricultural engineering of the Governor Edmund G. Brown California Aqueduct. This 2015 survey illustrates the precision of modern California water management, where the aqueduct cuts a linear path across the landscape to support the region's vast farming operations. The map details a strictly organized grid of rural roads and section lines, including W Whitney Ave and S Stanislaus Ave, which define the agricultural blocks typical of Fresno County. The seasonal flow of Cantua Creek provides a natural contrast to the industrial scale of the nearby irrigation infrastructure, offering a clear view of how water dictates the settlement patterns and land use in this part of the Central Valley.
