USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Agricultural development in the San Joaquin Valley defines this mid-century landscape, where a sophisticated network of canals like Rice Ditch and Stockton Ditch sustain the region's orchards and fields. The city of Porterville serves as the primary hub, situated where the Tule River emerges from the foothills into the valley floor. To the north, the town of Lindsay sits at the base of Elephant Back and the Rocky Hills, marking the transition from the flat basin to the elevated terrain of Round Valley.
