About this map

The agricultural heart of the San Joaquin Valley is anchored by the city of Corcoran and its surrounding worker settlements. This early 21st-century landscape reflects a deeply specialized economy, with large-scale farming infrastructure including the Corcoran High School Agricultural Farm and several named residential sites such as Crockett and Gambogy Labor Camp and Salyer Farms Camp One. The grid of roads, spanning from Newton Ave in the north to Racine Ave in the south, facilitates the movement of goods across this fertile terrain.

Water management is central to the area's geography, visible in the winding course of the Tule River and the substantial Boswell Levee that protects the flatlands. Industrial and logistical hubs like the Corcoran Airport and Salyer Farms Airport suggest the scale of operations required for regional commerce. Small rural clusters like Blanco and Riley Camp provide evidence of the scattered housing patterns typical of California’s historic cotton and grain belts.
