2018 Map of Burrel

About this map

Fresno Slough and the North Fork Kings River anchor this landscape in the western San Joaquin Valley, where a complex network of man-made waterways like Turner Ditch and Liberty Millrace Canal supports the agricultural character of the region. The map captures the small rural settlements of Burrel, Lanare, and Schilling along the Fresno and Kings County line. To the south, the presence of the Lemoore Naval Air Station marks a significant military footprint in this otherwise agrarian expanse. The terrain is a grid of section lines and rural avenues, punctuated by local water features including Murphy Slough, Boggs Slough, and Sand Slough, illustrating the importance of water management in the Central Valley.
