2018 Map of Success Dam

About this map

Lake Success dominates the central landscape of this 2018 survey, held back by the prominent Success Dam along the Tule River. The eastern reaches of Porterville and East Porterville are shown at the edge of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the transition from valley floor to rising terrain is marked by several historical irrigation features like Pioneer Ditch and Porter Slough. These water management systems highlight the area's agricultural foundation, even as residential growth pushes toward the heights of Rocky Hill and Martin Hill. To the north and east, the map captures more secluded pockets such as Frazier Valley and Pleasant Valley, alongside prominent peaks like Mine Hill and Bonsall Hill. Family researchers may find particular value in the location of the Porterville Cem and the smaller settlements of Worth, Lumer, and Magnolia.
