About this map

The agricultural landscape of the southern San Joaquin Valley is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation channels like the Hubbs Rhods and Fine Ditch and Stockton Ditch. Centered on the growing hub of Porterville, this survey shows the critical intersection of water and rail that fueled the regional economy between the world wars. The town is flanked by a significant rail corridor where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines run parallel, serving the valley's transit needs.
