About this map

The Merced River meanders across the northern portion of this Central Valley landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and waterways including Hopeton Slough and Ingalsbe Slough. This region in the San Joaquin Valley is defined by an intricate system of agricultural irrigation, with numerous named waterways such as the Escaladian Shaw Canal, King Lateral, and Arundel Lateral serving the surrounding fields.

Settlement patterns center around the community of Winton in the southwest, while smaller locales like Amsterdam and Hopeton mark the transition toward the river bottomlands. Modern infrastructure is prominent at Castle Airport, which occupies a significant footprint in the south. For those researching local history, the Hopeton Cem and established rural roads like Turlock Rd and Cox Ferry Rd provide clear markers of long-term habitation and transit in Merced County.
