About this map

Sportsman's clubs and irrigation infrastructure dominate this landscape in the southern San Joaquin Valley. The Alpaugh Irrigation District Canal defines the western agricultural boundary, while a high concentration of private hunting grounds such as the 20th Century Fish & Gun Club, Lurline Gun Club, and Pazuza Gun Club suggest a region historically managed for waterfowl and recreation. The terrain is notably flat, marked by a systematic grid of roads like Wildwood Road and Elmo Highway, and supported by utilities such as the Smyrna Substation. Numerous water features, including Lurline Wells and various scattered reservoirs, underscore the intensive water management required for this arid ranching and farming district, which the USGS notes as lying within a subsidence area.
