About this map

Woodlake and its surrounding agricultural valley are defined by a complex network of water management and transport at the foot of the Sierra Nevada foothills. This 2015 study shows the critical role of the Friant-Kern Canal and Saint Johns River in the local economy, alongside numerous irrigation features like the Foothill Ditch and Lemoncove Ditch. The town itself is centered around Bravo Lake, with the Woodlake Airport situated just to the south.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floor, with small communities such as Lemoncove, Naranjo, and Elderwood dotting the landscape. Historical markers for genealogists include the Antelope Cemetery located near the Sequoia area. The topography shifts abruptly to the east and north, where the land rises into prominent features like Antelope Mountain, Sentinel Butte, and Castle Rock, which overlook the canyon systems of Dry Creek and Ridenhour Creek.
