About this map

The Academy Granite Quarry anchors the southeastern landscape of this Fresno County survey, reflecting the local mineral extraction economy just after the war. The settlement of Academy sits nearby, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by family-run operations like Blasingame Ranch and Shide Ranch. Topographically, the area is defined by the prominent Table Mountain and Corlew Mountain, with numerous seasonal drainages including Little Dry Creek and Dry Creek carving through the terrain. Educational and civic infrastructure is represented by the Sentinel Sch and the McKenzie Fire Camp, while transportation routes such as Tollhouse Road and Millerton Road provide vital connections between the foothills and the valley. A notable detail for historians is the marking of the Fresno Kern Canal Construction, capturing a specific moment in California's hydraulic development.
