About this map

Agricultural irrigation networks and small-scale aviation define this portion of the San Joaquin Valley in Tulare County. The map details an intricate system of water management essential to the region's productivity, featuring the Farmers Ditch, Bliss Ditch, and Hutchinson Ditch alongside natural drainage such as Elk Bayou and Porter Slough. This hydrography is woven into a rigid grid of rural roads, including Ave 232 and Ave 200, which connect scattered residential clusters and farming operations.

Local landmarks such as Exeter Airport and the settlement at Cairns Corner highlight the intersection of transportation and commerce. Farther south, the community of Plainview sits near the junction of several arterial routes. The survey captures a landscape meticulously partitioned for cultivation, where waterways like Inside Cr and Outside Cr follow both natural paths and engineered alignments through the Central Valley floor.
