2021 Map of Selma

About this map

Selma and Kingsburg anchor this segment of the Central San Joaquin Valley, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural productivity. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of irrigation channels including the Centerville and Kingsburg Canal, Selma Colony Ditch, and Ward Drainage Canal, which draw from the Kings River in the southeast. This intensive water management system allowed for the growth of small settlements like Wineland and Miley alongside the primary rail corridor of the BNSF Railway. For those tracing family histories in Fresno County, the map identifies several local landmarks and burial grounds, such as North Selma Cem, Floral Memorial Cem, and Mendocino Cem near Parlier. The boundary between Fresno and Tulare counties is clearly marked as it traverses the rural landscape south of Kingsburg.
