About this map

The settlement of Allensworth stands as a focal point in this 1926 survey, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This area of the San Joaquin Valley is defined by its agricultural layout and water management, notably the Homeland Canal which runs north-to-south through the landscape. The map illustrates a period of established land divisions and irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's development.

Further south, the boundary between Tulare Co and Kern Co bisects the quadrangle, where the terrain transitions toward specialized land uses. The presence of the San Joaquin Gun Club and Angelus Gun Club in the southwest corner suggests the recreational importance of the local marshlands and seasonal water features during the late 1920s. This survey, conducted under the direction of Governor Friend W. Richardson and State Engineer Paul Bailey, provides a precise look at the township grids and early transit corridors of the California interior.
