2015 Map of Corcoran

About this map

Corcoran serves as a central hub for agriculture and transit in the San Joaquin Valley, characterized by a complex network of irrigation that supports the surrounding farm economy. The landscape is defined by its geometry, where an intricate system of waterways like Ax Canal, Sweet Canal, and the Daulton Ditch crisscross the flat terrain. This map reveals the transition between the urban center of Corcoran and the southern extension of South Corcoran, as well as the outlying settlement of Blanco. Infrastructure for the local aviation and transport sectors is prominent, including the Corcoran Airport and Salyer Farms Airport. The natural course of the Tule River and the East Branch Cross Creek intersect with man-made features like the E Hansen Fisk Ditch, illustrating a century of water management essential to the region's survival and growth.
