2018 Map of Piedra

About this map

The Kings River flows through the center of this landscape, marking the transition between the foothills and the fertile floor of the San Joaquin Valley. In the early 21st century, this region's complex water management system is on full display, featuring the prominent Friant-Kern Canal, Alta Main Canal, and Consolidated Canal, which support the agricultural lifeblood of the area near Elk and Gravesboro. The map documents small settlements like Piedra and Avocado, alongside local landmarks such as the Hazelton Cem and the Harris River Ranch Airport. To the north, the terrain rises into the Sierra Nevada foothills, defined by Coyote Ridge, Stony Point, and Red Mtn, where numerous seasonal creeks like Fancher Cr and Holland Cr carve through the rising elevation above Tivy Valley.
