About this map

The San Joaquin Valley landscape near the boundary of Kings Co and Tulare Co is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure and rural settlements. The community of London sits at the northern end of this agricultural grid, while the town of Traver is positioned along a major diagonal thoroughfare to the southwest. The area is heavily marked by man-made waterways like the Traver Canal, Kennedy School House Ditch, and King Ditch, which redirect water across the flat valley floor to support the region's intensive farming operations.

Natural drainage systems still thread through the surveyed sections, with the Saint Johns River and Cottonwood Creek flowing westward. These streams intersect with a dense grid of rural roads, including Alta Ave and various numbered avenues, which delineate the township and range lines. The transition from natural watercourses like Cross Creek and E Br Cross Cr to the geometric precision of the irrigation ditches reveals the long-term human engineering of the Central Valley's hydrology.
