About this map

Sanger serves as the focal point of this San Joaquin Valley landscape, where the intensive water management systems of Fresno County are on full display. The area is defined by a dense network of man-made waterways, including the Fowler Switch Canal, Centerville Kingsburg Canal, and Highland Canal, which divert water from the Kings River to support the surrounding agricultural fields. These canals weave through the grid-iron streets of the main settlement and nearby communities like Del Rey and Clotho.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key community landmarks, such as Sanger Cem, Bethel Cem, and Prairie Cem. The presence of the Pom Wonderful Airstrip near the Garfield Ditch highlights the specialized infrastructure required for the region's modern agribusiness. Natural features like Cameron Slough and Collins Cr persist alongside industrial-scale ditches such as the Smith-Ferry Canal and McCall Ditch, illustrating a century of hydraulic engineering.
