2015 Map of Orange Cove North

About this map

Orange Cove anchors this landscape where the floor of the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising foothills. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential to the region's agricultural character, dominated by the sweeping curve of the Friant-Kern Canal and supplemented by the Alta East Branch Canal, Miller Ditch, and Alta W Clark Ditch. These man-made waterways contrast with natural drainages like Wahtoke Creek and Wooten Creek. To the north and east, the terrain climbs toward Bear Mountain and Granite Hill, framing the distinct lowlands of Clark Valley, Hills Valley, and Squaw Valley. This 2015 survey shows a grid of rural avenues and roads like Jensen Avenue and Adams Avenue that connect the main township with smaller settlements such as Citrus Cove and the site of Mt Olive, illustrating the persistent footprint of Central Valley citrus culture.
