About this map

The Kings River flows through this portion of the Central Valley, defining a landscape where intensive irrigation infrastructure meets the rising foothills of the Sierra Nevada. High points like Jesse Morrow Mtn and Campbell Mtn overlook a meticulously gridded agricultural corridor punctuated by the Friant-Kern Canal and numerous smaller waterworks like the Alta Main Canal and Hanke Ditch. These systems sustain the citrus and stone fruit heartland surrounding Reedley, Wahtoke, and Navelencia.

Tracing the waterways reveals a complex network of sloughs and ditches, including Byrd Slough and Cameron Slough, which weave through the agricultural blocks. Local landmarks such as Peg Field and the Reedley Municipal Airport support the region's aviation needs, while the presence of the Acres Cem near Centerville and Minkler provides specific points of interest for genealogical research in this productive corner of Fresno County.
