About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture dominates this portion of the Central Valley, where a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure manages the landscape. The map highlights the interplay of water and land, featuring the Kern Lake Bed and the remaining Kern Lake in the southern reaches. These features are supported by an engineered system of waterways, including the Stine Canal, Farmers Canal, and the New Rim Ditch, which redirect flow across the flat terrain.

Settlement patterns are concentrated near small hubs like Alameda and Conner. The area is partitioned by a strict grid of section lines and named roads such as Bear Mountain Blvd and Old River Rd, reflecting the large-scale ranching and farming operations of the southern valley. Researchers will find a landscape defined by its transition from natural lacustrine features to a highly managed agricultural environment.
