2018 Map of Winton

About this map

Merced River flows through this Central Valley landscape, defining a complex network of natural sloughs and engineered irrigation that supported the region's agricultural growth. The map centers on the community of Winton, showing the town's street grid near Winton Lateral and Gertrude Lateral. To the southeast, the expansive footprint of Castle Airport dominates the terrain, while smaller rural settlements like Hopeton and Amsterdam anchor the northern reaches. The area's long-standing reliance on water management is evident in the myriad of named waterways such as the Escaladian Shaw Canal and Cressey Lateral E. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hopeton Cem near Hopeton Slough or trace the route across the river at Shaffer Bridge. The map captures a moment when traditional agrarian patterns, marked by various orchard-lined roads like Almond Ave, coexist with modern transportation and aviation infrastructure.
