2018 Map of Selma

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape documented here is defined by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Fresno County agriculture. Major settlements including Selma, Kingsburg, and Parlier are connected by the prominent diagonal of Golden State Blvd, tracing the historical transportation corridor through the heart of the valley. This 2018 survey reveals how water management shapes the land, with features like the Centerville and Kingsburg Canal, Selma Colony Ditch, and Cole Slough Canal distributing water from the Kings River. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including Odd Fellows Cem and Floral Memorial Cem. The map also captures smaller communities and locales such as Wineland, Miley, and Central Valley, positioned amidst a grid of rural avenues and orchards typical of this productive region.
