About this map

The city of Visalia serves as the focal point of this Central Valley survey, which reveals a highly organized landscape defined by early 20th-century irrigation and rail transport. The local economy is visibly shaped by the presence of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads, which crisscross the agricultural plains to connect settlements like Tagus to larger markets. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the intricate network of the St Johns River, Mill Creek, and the Irrigation Canal system that feeds the surrounding fields.
