About this map

The confluence of the San Joaquin River and the Tuolumne River anchors this landscape in the heart of the Central Valley. This environment is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the massive Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal, which cut through the western portion of the quadrangle. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the presence of specialized facilities like the Valley Crop Dusters, Inc Airport and the Del Mar Farms Airport.

Settlement patterns center on the small community of Westley and the town of Grayson, the latter of which includes the Grayson Cem. The terrain transitions from the alluvial floor of the San Joaquin Valley into the foothills of the Diablo Range at Kern Canyon. Numerous irrigation channels, such as Lateral Five N and Lateral M, create a geometric grid across the land, highlighting the systematic engineering of the valley's hydrology.
