2021 Map of Piedra

About this map

The Kings River flows from the foothills toward the San Joaquin Valley, defining a landscape where mountain ridges meet the sophisticated irrigation networks of the Central Valley. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex water management systems essential to the region's agriculture, including the massive Friant-Kern Canal, the Enterprise Canal, and the Fowler-Switch Canal. Settlements such as Piedra and Avocado are situated at this transition, with the Harris River Ranch Airport and Hazelton Cem serving as local landmarks. The topography rises sharply from the valley floor to features like Coyote Ridge, Red Mtn, and Stephenson Hill, while the historic Tivy Valley and Gravesboro occupy the lower elevations near Byrd Slough.
