About this map

The agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley is defined by a complex network of irrigation and river systems surrounding Westley and Grayson. Large-scale infrastructure dominates the western portion of the area, where the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal run parallel, cutting through the terrain near Kern Canyon. To the east, the natural wandering of the San Joaquin River and its confluence with the Tuolumne River creates a distinct contrast, forming riparian features like Laird Slough, Grider Island, and Richie Slough.

Evidence of established local families and long-standing operations is visible through named properties such as El Solyo Ranch, Bizzini Farm, and Hidden Valley Dairy. The map provides essential details for genealogists, including the Grayson Cem and the Del Puerto and Saint Marys Cem. Transportation and commerce are represented by local aviation hubs like Westley Airport and the Flying Bull Airport, alongside the numerous lateral canals like Lateral Two South that sustain the region's farms.
