2018 Map of Westhaven

About this map

The settlement of Westhaven anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape in the Central San Joaquin Valley. The map records a grid of section lines and access roads, including Avenal Cutoff Rd, which slices diagonally across the territory. The region's dependence on managed water is evident in the presence of the Empire Westside Ditch and the Blakeley Canal in the southeast, essential arteries for the vast fields that define the area. To the south, the Stone Land Co Airport serves as a reminder of the specialized logistical needs of large-scale ranching and farming operations. This survey also captures the precise boundary between Fresno and Kings counties, a line that bisects the open landscape and shapes the local administrative and land-ownership patterns of the early 21st century.
