About this map

Corcoran serves as the focal point of this Central California landscape, situated within the fertile San Joaquin Valley. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network essential to the region's agricultural identity, featuring an intricate system of canals and ditches such as the Sweet Canal, N Corcoran Ditch, and Helm-Lewis Ditch. This 2018 survey illustrates how water management shapes the grid of the valley floor, with the Tule River winding through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Local infrastructure is prominently marked by the Corcoran Airport and Salyer Farms Airport, alongside the industrial and community landmarks including Corcoran Memorial Park. The intersection of rail and road is evident along Santa Fe Ave, while the small settlement of Blanco appears to the southeast. Genealogists and local historians can trace the precise boundaries of the Kings Co TulARE Co line and the various irrigation features like Lamberson Ditch that have defined land use in this part of the valley for generations.
