About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape within Kings County is defined by its massive hydraulic engineering and agricultural grid. This 2015 survey shows the intersection of the Kings River and the Tule River, highlighting the intricate water management required in this arid region. The presence of the Tulare Lake Bed on the eastern edge of the map serves as a reminder of the historic lake that once dominated the southern valley before being reclaimed for farmland. The terrain is strictly partitioned by an expansive network of roads like Pueblo Ave and S 19th Ave, which follow the Public Land Survey System. These straight-line boundaries and irrigation features, such as the Wilbur Ditch, illustrate the total transformation of the California interior into a highly structured industrial agricultural zone.
