About this map

Allensworth stands as a focal point in this 1920s agricultural landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This survey captures the town in its early decades, showing the intersection of rail transport and irrigation infrastructure that defined the San Joaquin Valley. The Homeland Canal runs vertically through the center of the sheet, illustrating the vital water management systems necessary for local farming. Moving south, the map details the surveyed section lines crossing the border between Tulare Co and Kern Co. The presence of labels like Hollywood Gun Club 2 Mi. indicates the recreational use of the valley floor alongside the developing irrigation network and cattle country.
