2012 Map of Stratford

About this map

Stratford serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Kings County, where a complex network of irrigation and aviation supports the local economy. The town itself is compactly organized near the Stratford Canal and Kings River, which meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle. Significant agricultural infrastructure is visible, including the Avila And Fernandes Dairy and the Central Union Grange, reflecting the deep-rooted dairy and farming heritage of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of private aviation sites, such as Newton Field, Jones Farms Airport, and the Stratford Grain and Seed Airport, which facilitate large-scale crop management. A rigid grid of numbered avenues and named streets, from Jersey Ave to Nevada Ave, partitions the valley floor, intersected by essential waterways like the Tulare Lake Canal and Blakeley Canal that sustain the surrounding fields.
