About this map

The Kings River winds through the eastern San Joaquin Valley on this 2015 update, serving as the hydraulic lifeblood for an intricate network of irrigation that defines local agriculture. This survey captures the rural layout surrounding Reedley, showing how the Alta Main Canal and Friant-Kern Canal weave between orchards and vineyards to support the valley's productivity. Beyond the larger settlement of Reedley, the map details smaller communities like Navelencia, Centerville, and Minkler, providing a clear record of local road grids and property divisions in Fresno County.

Prominent geographical landmarks break the flat valley floor, most notably Jesse Morrow Mtn and Campbell Mtn to the north. Water management is meticulously documented through named features such as Byrd Slough, Wahtoke Lake, and several irrigation ditches including the Fink Ditch and Hanke Ditch. For those researching local aviation or infrastructure, the map also identifies the Reedley Municipal Airport and the smaller Peg Field landing strip near the foothills.
