About this map

Wasco sits at the northern edge of this survey in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, surrounded by the geometric precision of California’s agricultural interior. The landscape is defined by an extensive grid of irrigation-supporting roads, including W Lerdo Hwy, Kimberlina Rd, and Dresser Ave, which divide the fertile plains of the Central Valley. A subtle rise in the southwest, the Semitropic Ridge, provides one of the few natural interruptions to the level terrain.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the presence of Jerry Slough in the southwestern corner. The map captures the interface between the residential expansion of Wasco, seen along Augusta Manor Dr and Valley Rose Pkwy, and the surrounding industrial-scale farmland. This 2018 record shows how the local infrastructure maintains the productivity of this historically significant ranching and farming corridor.
