About this map

Westhaven and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a rigid grid of county roads and vital water infrastructure in the San Joaquin Valley. This 2012 survey illustrates the importance of irrigation to the local economy, tracing the paths of the Empire Westside Ditch and Blakeley Canal as they navigate the flat terrain. The map records a series of established agricultural properties, including the Boston Ranch, Stratford Ranch, and Allen Ranch, which stand as significant landmarks amidst the expanse of fields.

Transportation is anchored by the Avenal Cutoff Rd, slicing diagonally across the rectilinear grid of avenues like S Dickenson Ave and W Tornado Ave. Aviation and rail interests are represented by the Stone Land Company Airport and Westhaven Siding, respectively, providing insight into how produce and materials moved through Fresno County. The layout of these named junctions and ranches serves as a specific record of land use and commercial connectivity during the early 21st century.
