2018 Map of Taylor Weir

About this map

The Tule River meanders across this Tulare County landscape, reflecting an intricate network of agricultural water management in the San Joaquin Valley. At its heart lies the eponymous Taylor Weir, a critical point of water diversion that defines the local irrigation infrastructure. This system is further articulated by the Taylor Canal and the Bayou Vista Side Ditch, which channel water south through the Central Valley floor. The hydrology here is complex, featuring the branching of N Fork Deep Cr and S Fork Deep Cr alongside natural drainage features like Bates Slough and Elk Bayou. The grid-like road system, defined by corridors such as Ave 144 and Elk Bayou Rd, illustrates the highly organized parceling of land for large-scale cultivation.
