2012 Map of Knights Ferry

About this map

Knights Ferry serves as the central hub of this landscape, situated along the banks of the Stanislaus River. The map details a sophisticated water management network essential to the Central Valley, featuring the North San Joaquin Main Canal, the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, and various irrigation structures like the Morrison Siphon Lateral and Cape Horn Lateral. This infrastructure highlights the region's transition from a historic river crossing to a modern agricultural powerhouse. To the west of the settlement, the Cape Horn Tunnel and the distinctive landmark Lovers Leap provide geographic points of interest. The area is further defined by its network of rural roads, such as Sonora Rd and Cemetary Rd, which follow the contours of the drainage basins for Littlejohns Cr and Wildcat Cr.
