2018 Map of El Rico Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
El Rico Ranch sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in the Central Valley of Kings County. The map documents a highly engineered hydrologic environment within the San Joaquin Valley, dominated by the remnants of the Tulare Lake basin. The natural course of the Tule River is framed by an extensive network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Tulare Lake Canal, the El-Rico-Main-Canal, and the Gates-Jones Canal. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Niles Ave and Redding Ave, underscores the industrial scale of land management here. This survey is particularly useful for researchers tracing the evolution of California water rights and the reclamation of lakebed soils for large-scale ranching and farming operations.
