2021 Map of Round Mountain

About this map

Clovis marks the western edge of this landscape where the Central Valley begins its transition into the Sierra Nevada foothills. This 2021 survey shows a complex network of agricultural water management, dominated by the massive Friant-Kern Canal and supplemented by local infrastructure like the Enterprise Canal, Gould Canal, and Gray Colony Ditch. These waterways support a series of small rural communities and agricultural hubs, including Edmiston, Big Bunch, and Zediker. To the east, the terrain rises toward Round Mtn and Kirkman Hill, while the San Joaquin Valley floor is etched with features like Redbank Slough and Mud Cr. Local history is anchored by the Redbank Cemetery and the presence of the Kindsvater Ranch Airport, reflecting a mix of established ranching traditions and modern aviation needs in eastern Fresno County.
