About this map

Chickencoop Canyon and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada dominate this Tulare County landscape, where deep drainages and flat benches reveal the traditional ranching and surveying patterns of the region. The map captures a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Yokohl Cr and Horse Cr, which have carved out notable landmarks such as Paradise Canyon and Franklin Canyon.

Settlement is sparse, marked primarily by named topographic features like Jordan Flat, Oak Flat, and Little Oak Flat, suggesting historical uses for grazing or small-scale seasonal camps. The presence of Whitney Creek Rd in the north and the distinct prominence of Potato Hill provide critical navigation points within the sprawling terrain. This survey is a valuable resource for understanding the hydrography and land divisions of the eastern San Joaquin Valley foothills as they appeared in 2018.
