About this map

Stokes Mountain and Sawyer Peak dominate the topography of this Tulare County landscape, where the Sierra Nevada foothills meet the agricultural valley floor. The mid-1960s landscape shows a clear transition from the high, drainage-carved terrain of Stone Corral Canyon and Long Valley Creek to the engineered water systems below. The massive Friant Kern Canal cuts across the southwestern quadrant, a critical piece of Central Valley infrastructure that transformed the local economy. Scattered throughout the hills are several named holdings, including Moore Creek Ranch and Dixie Ranch, alongside legacy tracks like the A T & S F railroad. Geologic activity is noted by several Quarry sites and a network of fire roads and jeep trails, such as Buttonwillow Road and Sontag Road, which provide access to the various springs and flats tucked between the peaks.
