About this map

Allensworth serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the southern San Joaquin Valley, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational utility, marked by an extensive network of waterways and resource extraction points. The southern reaches of the map, straddling the line between Tulare and Kern counties, reveal a high concentration of private sporting grounds, including the Visalia Gun Club, Tulare Gun Club, and Widgeon Gun Club.

Evidence of the region's energy and agricultural infrastructure is prominent, with numerous Gas Wells and complex water management systems like the Alpaugh Irrigation District Canal and Trico Gas Field Canal. Seasonal wetlands and varied water features such as Poso Creek and numerous Duck Ponds illustrate the natural hydrology of the valley floor before further twentieth-century development modified the terrain.
