About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape of the Central Valley is defined here by a highly managed hydrological network south of the Kings County and Kern County line. The engineered flow of water is central to this region, anchored by the prominent Kern River Channel and the Hacienda Spillway. These features, alongside the Homeland Canal and Bull Slough, illustrate the intricate irrigation and drainage systems required for large-scale agriculture in this arid portion of California. Higher ground is found along the Sand Ridge, providing a rare break in the flat, surveyed grid of the valley floor. Transportation is primarily limited to straight-line access routes like Lost Hills Rd, which bisects the southern sections, serving the expansive ranch lands and industrial agricultural plots that dominate the terrain.
