2021 Map of Kismet

About this map

Madera Acres and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley are defined by a sophisticated water management system necessary for cultivation in this arid region. The Madera Canal cuts across the northern terrain, feeding the network of fields near Kismet and Notarb. Local hydrology is marked by ephemeral waterways such as Dry Cr and Schmidt Cr, while the Fresno River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2021 survey shows the modern grid of rural roads, including Country Club Dr and Raymond Rd, which facilitate transport through the productive farmlands north of Madera. The map documents the residential expansion within the Central Valley as it interfaces with established ranching and irrigation infrastructure.
