About this map

Allensworth stands as a prominent focal point along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line in this mid-century survey of the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape reveals a complex network of water management and industrial activity, characterized by an extensive system of levee structures and the Alpaugh Irrigation District Canal. The map captures the industrial footprint of the Trico Gas Field, with numerous Gas Wells dotting the sections north of the Tulare Co Kern Co boundary line.

Sporting life and seasonal hydrology are central to this terrain, evidenced by a concentration of private hunting grounds such as the Tulare Gun Club, Visalia Gun Club, and Pintail Duck Club. These sites are clustered around natural and artificial water features like Poso Creek and various Duck Ponds. The presence of several Aban'd Res sites and an Abandoned Canal suggests shifting agricultural and irrigation patterns during the post-war era.
