2015 Map of Taylor Weir

About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape within Tulare County is defined here by a complex network of water management and natural drainage systems. The Tule River meanders across the central terrain, its flow regulated by landmarks such as the Taylor Weir. This area shows the critical intersection of natural hydrology and agricultural infrastructure, featuring named waterways like Elk Bayou and Bates Slough. The intricate drainage pattern is further detailed by the branching of Deep Creek, including its North Fork and South Fork. A rigid grid of county roads, such as Avenue 144 and Road 64, segments the valley floor, illustrating the organized land division typical of California’s interior farming regions. The presence of the Taylor Canal underscores the historical reliance on engineered irrigation to sustain the productivity of this section of the valley.
