2015 Map of Visalia

About this map

The Saint Johns River and a dense network of irrigation channels define the agricultural and urban landscape of the San Joaquin Valley near the city of Visalia. This survey documents a complex hydrological system of ditches and creeks, such as Modoc Ditch, Persian Ditch, and Packwood Creek, which have historically sustained the region's orchards and fields. Outside the primary city limits, smaller named localities like Chinowths Corner and Ambler appear alongside educational and civic landmarks like the College of the Sequoias and the Visalia Cemetery. The map captures the transition from a concentrated urban core to the surrounding rural periphery, where outlying points like Tagus, Higby, and Loma anchor the southern and western reaches of the quadrangle.
