2018 Map of Tulare

About this map

The city of Tulare serves as a central hub within the San Joaquin Valley Central Valley, where an intricate grid of irrigation infrastructure supports the regional agricultural economy. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex water management network, featuring the Tulare Canal, Tulare Irrigation Canal, and numerous specialized channels like the Oakland Colony Ditch and Bates Slough Ditch. Transportation corridors are anchored by the Union Pacific railroad and the presence of Mefford Field to the south. Surrounding the urban center, smaller settlements and residential pockets such as Matheny, East Tulare Villa, and Swall are interspersed among the fields. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the winding course of Elk Bayou, which meanders through the landscape alongside the Tulare Cem, providing a detailed look at the interface between the growing city and the valley floor.
