About this map

Daulton and the surrounding foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains are defined by an intricate network of water management and rural aviation. The Madera Canal cuts through the landscape, feeding the Madera Equalization Reservoir and supporting the agricultural needs of the Central Valley. The drainage of the Fresno River and its S Fork dictate the local topography, leading toward Madera Lake and the significant basin of Hensley Lake at the northeast corner of the quadrangle.

Residential developments such as Lake Madera Country Estates contrast with the large tracts of open land and local landmarks like China Garden. The presence of both the Daulton Airport and the Yosemite Hidden Lake Ranch Airport suggests a reliance on light aircraft for regional connectivity. Genealogists and historians can trace the paths of established routes like Raymond Rd and Road 603, which serve as the primary arteries through this section of Madera County.
