2012 Map of Orange Cove South

About this map

Orosi and Cutler anchor this San Joaquin Valley landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation and infrastructure supported a dense agricultural corridor in the early 21st century. The map reveals the engineering behind the region's productivity, dominated by the massive Friant-Kern Canal and supplemented by the Alta E Br Canal, the Bump and Edmiston Ditch, and Sand Creek. Smaller settlements like Sultana, Tokay, and Wyeth are scattered throughout the grid of rural roads, including Monson Avenue and Road 104. Local history is preserved at the Smith Mountain Cemetery at the foot of Barris Hill, while the Alta Airport highlights the area's logistical connections. Prominent geological features like Smith Mountain and Curtis Mountain rise above the orchard-lined flats, providing clear orientation points for this deeply transformed environment.
