2015 Map of Kearney Park

About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture dominates this landscape west of Fresno, defined by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure and rural settlements. Small communities like Rolinda, Pratton, and Floyd are situated along a grid of section-line roads, with Kearney Park serving as a prominent landmark in the north-central portion of the map. The intricate water management system is the defining feature of the area, including the Little Houghton Canal, Houghton Canal, and several smaller ditches like Vogel Ditch and Garfield Ditch. The presence of the Fresno Colony Canal and Dry Cr Canal highlights the systematic reclamation and watering of this valley land for production. Genealogists may also find interest in the location of Fresno Memorial Gardens in the northeastern section of the quadrangle. Southward, the landscape transitions into drainage areas such as the Central Wasteway and Dickenson Waste, which manage runoff from the extensive field systems.
