About this map

The North Fork Kings River and South Fork Kings River define the southern reaches of this landscape in the San Joaquin Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a highly managed hydraulic environment where natural waterways like Murphy Slough and Crooked Slough are integrated with an extensive grid of irrigation infrastructure, including the Island Canal, Liberty Ditch, and Grant Canal. These systems support the agricultural heart of the region near the boundary of Fresno and Kings counties.

Small communities and crossroads such as Riverdale, Camden, Clint, and Hub are situated along a precise section-line road network. To the northeast, the Oak Grove Cem and Veterans Memorial stands as a significant local landmark. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of the central valley, from the early 20th-century rail-adjacent sites like Gepford to the modern rural residential developments that follow the historic canal lines.
