About this map

Springville serves as a focal point for this region of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Tule River and its various agricultural irrigation systems, such as the Moore-Witt Ditch and Graham-Osborn Ditch, define the local landscape. The map captures a complex network of canyons and high-elevation flats, including Ward Canyon and Joaquin Flat, illustrating the transition from foothill settlements like Big Campbell to the protected wildlands of the Sequoia National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Crabtree - Globe Cem near the river, while physical landmarks like Oak Flat Peak and Oat Mtn provide context for the historical land use in this rugged corner of Tulare County. The intricate labeling of minor drainages like Long Br and Gibbon Cr highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment, showing how the S Fork Tule River has shaped the settlement patterns of Pleasant Valley.
