2018 Map of Waukena

About this map

San Joaquin Valley agriculture dominates this landscape near Corcoran, where a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure has reshaped the natural hydrology. The map illustrates how human engineering has managed the flow across the valley floor, featuring extensive works like the Highline Canal, Guiberson Canal, and Bean Ditch. These man-made channels intersect with natural waterways such as Guernsey Slough and Cross Cr, creating a geometric grid of fields and roads. In the southeastern corner, the small settlement of Waukena sits at the junction of local routes, while the Lakeside Cem to the north serves as a quiet landmark amidst the vast tracts of farmland. The distribution of secondary roads and section lines reflects the industrial scale of farming in Kings County during the early 21st century.
