About this map

The Kings River defines the western agricultural landscape of this San Joaquin Valley survey, where the burgeoning citrus and fruit industries of the mid-1920s are evident in the dense network of irrigation and rail infrastructure. The town of Reedley serves as a primary hub, situated at a strategic junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads converge. This rail connectivity facilitated the rapid growth of the region, linking rural settlements like Lacjac and North Dinuba to wider markets.

Beyond the tracks, the social fabric of the rural community is mapped through a series of local landmarks, including the Advent Church and several district schools such as Alta School, Windsor School, and Kings River School. The landscape is partitioned by a grid of named thoroughfares like Manning Ave and Floral Ave, illustrating the transition from open ranch land to structured horticulture. The boundary between Fresno Co and Tulare Co bisects the southern portion of the sheet, where Dinuba emerges as another significant population center.
