About this map

The Fresno River and its complex network of water management features dominate this Central Valley landscape during the early 1960s. The Madera Canal cuts across the terrain, feeding into the Madera Equalization Reservoir and supporting the intensive agricultural needs of the region. Near the settlement of Daulton, evidence of the area's industrial past is visible through an Old Railroad Grade and the Daulton Mine, alongside various quarries.

Southward, the Madera Lake area is designated as the Madera Lake Park and Recreational Area, highlighting the mid-century development of public spaces. The land is marked by natural drainages like Cottonwood Slough and China Garden Creek, which wind toward the South Fork Fresno River. Local aviation is represented by both a formal Airstrip and a smaller Landing Strip, while the Adobe Ranch remains a significant local landmark amidst the sprawling hydro-infrastructure.
