1929 Map of Allensworth

About this map

The settlement of Allensworth stands as a focal point in this 1920s-era survey, positioned along the prominent Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This period in the southern San Joaquin Valley shows a landscape defined by emerging irrigation infrastructure and the strict geometry of township sections. The Homeland Canal cuts a vertical path through the center of the sheet, illustrating the region's transition toward managed water resources. Along the southern boundary, the division between Tulare Co and Kern Co is clearly marked, separating these agricultural heartlands. To the southwest, the presence of the San Joaquin Gun Club and Angelus Gun Club indicates the historical use of the marshy or seasonally flooded lands for recreational hunting before modern drainage fully transformed the valley floor.
