2018 Map of Ivanhoe

About this map

Ivanhoe and Woodlake anchor this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, where the agricultural grid meets the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's citrus and fruit industry, including the Friant-Kern Canal, Wutchumna Ditch, and Tulare Irrigation District Canal. These man-made waterways navigate around prominent geological rises such as Colvin Mtn, Bacon Hill, and the distinctive Venice Hills. Small rural communities and loading points like Seville, Rayo, and Hillmaid are scattered along the section lines, connected by an exacting grid of avenues and roads. Genealogists may find interest in the Lone Oak Cem located south of Ivanhoe, while the presence of Saint Johns River and Cottonwood Creek shows the natural drainage patterns that predate the modern canal systems.
