About this map

The San Joaquin Valley meets the rising foothills of the Sierra Nevada in this 2021 survey of the Tulare County landscape. This transition zone is defined by the vital movement of water, from the natural course of the Kaweah River in the north to the engineered path of the Friant-Kern Canal and Foothill Ditch, which support the region's agricultural productivity. Small settlements like Lindcove and Merryman anchor the valley floor, while the rugged terrain of the Yokohl Valley and Monument Hill dominates the eastern half of the sheet.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Hamilton Cem and the distinctive formation of Rocky Hill itself. The map reveals a complex network of rural roads, including 7th Ave and Rocky Hill Dr, which serve the clustered communities of Tooleville and Yokohl. Researchers can trace the intersection of ancient waterways like Dry Cr and Yokohl Cr with modern infrastructure in this pocket of the Central Valley.
