About this map

The agricultural landscape of eastern Fresno County is defined here by the critical water infrastructure of the Friant-Kern Canal and Alta E Br Canal, which supported the citrus groves and farmsteads surrounding Orange Cove in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a clear transition from the geometric grid of orchards and roads like Adams Ave and Cove Ave in the valley floor to the rising topography of the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Prominent landforms such as Bear Mountain and Granite Hill overlook the plains, while smaller settlements and named locales like Citrus Cove, Kaktus Korner, and Squaw Valley dot the transition between the valley and the higher ground of Hills Valley. This detailed survey captures the intersection of natural drainage systems, including Wahtoke Cr and Wooten Cr, with the engineered irrigation network that sustains the region's economy.
