About this map

The Kings River dominates the western landscape of this mid-1960s Fresno County survey, carving a complex path alongside Byrd Slough and Cameron Slough. This region serves as a critical junction for Central Valley water management, as evidenced by an intricate network of irrigation features including the Main Canal, Alta Canal, and Gould Aqueduct. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial floor to the prominent heights of Jesse Morrow Mountain and Campbell Mtn in the east.

Agricultural and small-town life is centered around settlements like Centerville, Navelencia, and Wahtoke. Local education and transport are anchored by sites such as the Navelencia Sch, Great Western Sch, and the Great Western Airfield. For genealogists and researchers, the map identifies specific family landmarks like the Lassotovitch Ranch and the Acres Cem, alongside the infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.
