About this map

The agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features in this 2015 study of the area west of Visalia. The map illustrates how irrigation infrastructure, including the Tulare Canal, Watson Ditch, and S Fork Persian Ditch, has shaped the development of settlements like Goshen and Midvalley. These waterways parallel and intersect natural drainages such as Mill Cr and Packwood Cr, creating a geometric grid of farmland and access roads.

Transportation and infrastructure nodes are prominent, most notably the Visalia Municipal Airport and the campus of San Joaquin Valley College-Visalia. The boundary between Kings and Tulare Counties runs along the western edge, marking the transition between jurisdictions in this productive valley. Large thoroughfares like Grangeville Blvd and Lacey Blvd facilitate movement across the flats, connecting regional hubs to the smaller communities and industrial corridors.
