2015 Map of Hacienda Ranch NE

About this map

Central Valley agriculture and sophisticated water management define this portion of the San Joaquin Valley along the border of Kings and Tulare counties. The landscape is a rigid grid of transport and irrigation, structured around the Main Canal and the Homeland Canal. A network of ditches and laterals, including Lamberson Ditch, Lateral F, and Lateral B, provides the essential infrastructure for the region's industrial-scale farming. This 2015 survey reveals how the terrain is meticulously partitioned into sections, served by a regular system of numbered and named thoroughfares such as Utica Ave, Salem Ave, and Seattle Ave. The map captures the specialized geometry of modern California irrigation, showing the exact routes of secondary water lines that sustain the local ranching and agricultural economy.
