About this map

The Tulare Lake Bed dominates this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, reflecting a landscape defined by large-scale hydrological management and agricultural grid patterns. In the heart of the Central Valley, the natural courses of the Kings River and the Tule River have been integrated into a rigid system of section lines and irrigation infrastructure. The map illustrates a highly organized rural environment where water is the primary architect of the land, evidenced by features like the Wilbur Ditch. Extensive north-south and east-west thoroughfares, including Orange Ave and Pueblo Ave, delineate the territory into precise rectangular plots, a hallmark of the Public Land Survey System that continues to shape the region's development.
