About this map

Fountain Springs and the eastern fringes of the San Joaquin Valley define this landscape where the flatlands meet the rising foothills of Tulare County. The 2018 survey illustrates a complex infrastructure of gridded agricultural avenues, such as Ave 100 and Terra Bella Ave, supporting established areas like Deer Creek Colony and Ultra. These irrigation-dependent settlements contrast with the rising topography to the east, marked by landmarks like Tennessee Ridge and Tennessee Knob.

Tracing the path of the Old Stage Coach Rd provides a look at the historical transit patterns through the foothills, connecting the lower elevations near Central Valley with the secluded contours of Hungry Hollow and Hewey Valley. The presence of the Deer Cr Ditch highlights the critical role of water management in the region's development, as Deer Creek descends from the highlands past Quedow Mtn.
