2015 Map of Vanguard

About this map

The agricultural and military landscape of the San Joaquin Valley defines this region along the boundary of Fresno and Kings Counties. Central to the map is the Lemoore Naval Air Station (Reeves Field), showing the specialized road network of Skytrain Ave and Skymaster Ave that serves the airfield. The settlement of Vanguard sits in the southern portion of the sheet, surrounded by a grid of rural avenues that facilitate the area's intensive irrigation. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, with the North Fork Kings River and Clarks Fork Kings River flowing through the eastern section. These natural waterways are supplemented by the Main Island Canal and the winding paths of Boggs Slough and Fault Slough, illustrating the complex drainage and water distribution systems required for the valley's productivity.
