2015 Map of El Rico Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Agricultural development in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley defines this portion of Kings County, where a complex network of irrigation and water management infrastructure supports the local ranching economy. The Tule River traverses the landscape, its waters diverted and managed through an extensive system of waterways including the Tulare Lake Canal, Gates-Jones Canal, and the El Rico Main Canal. This 2015 survey illustrates how the land is precisely gridded by a series of avenues, such as Whitley Ave and Pueblo Ave, which organize the territory around local hubs like Helm Corner and the eponymous El Rico Ranch. The prevalence of features like the Reclamation Ditch and the Helm-Lewis Ditch speaks to the intensive hydrological engineering required to sustain large-scale cultivation in this arid California basin.
