2015 Map of Springville

About this map

Springville serves as the focal point for this 2015 study of the foothills where the San Joaquin Valley begins its ascent into the southern Sierra. The settlement patterns follow the winding path of the Tule River and its various branches, including the N Fork Tule River and Middle Fork Tule River. This modern survey illustrates how infrastructure like Balch Park Rd and Yokohl Dr navigates the complex terrain of Buckeye Gulch and Blue Ridge. To the east, the boundary of the Sequoia National Forest marks a transition into protected wilderness, while smaller localities like Milo and Pleasant Valley anchor the outlying ranching and residential areas. The presence of the Sequoia Ranch Airport and the distinct peaks of Hatchet Peak and Battle Mtn provide essential orientation for those studying the contemporary geography of Tulare County.
