1999 Map of Westley

About this map

The San Joaquin River and its confluence with the Tuolumne River dominate this Central Valley landscape, defining a complex system of waterways including Laird Slough and Finnegan Cut. The settlement of Grayson sits at a historic river bend, supported by the Grayson Sch and Grayson Cem, while the town of Westley serves as a primary rail and agricultural hub to the southwest. This era of land management is clearly visible through the massive infrastructure of the California Aqueduct and Delta-Mendota Canal, which cut across the western fields to feed an intensive irrigation network of numbered laterals. On the eastern side of the river, the layout of Rancho Del Puerto transitions into a distinct grid of orchard-named thoroughfares like Mulberry Ave and Sycamore Ave, illustrating the region's total transformation into a productive horticultural engine.
