2021 Map of Richgrove

About this map

Richgrove sits at the intersection of Tulare and Kern counties, serving as a primary settlement within the agricultural expanse of the Central Valley. The landscape is defined by the precise grid of section lines and irrigation roads, including Ave 32 and Cecil Ave, which support the intensive farming characteristic of the San Joaquin Valley. Seasonal drainage patterns like White River and Rag Gulch cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural hydrology that predates the modern irrigation network. Smaller named locations such as Orris, Vestal, and Quality mark the historical nodes of local commerce and transit. To the southeast, the topography transitions into more complex drainages like Locked Gate Gulch and Five Dog Cr, where the flat valley floor begins to meet the rising foothills.
