About this map

The Kings River drainage dominates this San Joaquin Valley landscape, where the branching forks and sloughs of the Laguna De Tache grant reveal an intricate system of water management. The 1954 field check captures the city of Lemoore during a period of agricultural stability, showing the town center organized around the Southern Pacific tracks and local landmarks like the High School and City Hall. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is a grid of irrigation and transport, marked by features like the Flint Ave Canal and the Lower Kings River Ditch.

Evidence of early California history is preserved at the El Adobe De Los Robles Historic Marker, situated near Halls Corner. The map detail extends to rural infrastructure, including the Island Sch in the northwest and various water-related works such as the Regulator Station and numerous reservoirs. This survey provides a precise look at the transition between established rail-side settlements like Rossi and the surrounding hydraulic landscape of the Kings River forks.
