About this map

Stokes Mountain and the surrounding foothills of Tulare County dominate this landscape, where the rugged topography of the Sierra Nevada transition meets the engineered waterways of the San Joaquin Valley. The 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by named peaks like Sawyer Peak, Cliff Peak, and Curtis Mountain, interspersed with secluded basins such as Long Valley and Fisher Flat.

A network of critical water infrastructure, including the prominent Friant-Kern Canal, Sontag Ditch, and Alta E Br Canal, skirts the base of the highlands near Woodlake Valley. These artificial channels contrast with the natural drainage of Rattlesnake Creek and Moore Creek. The small settlement at Wimp and the presence of numerous springs, such as Arnett Spring and Mankins Spring, highlight the historical importance of water access in this ranching and agricultural region.
