About this map

The Chowchilla River and its intricate drainage network, including Ash Creek and Mariposa Slough, define this agricultural landscape during the early 1940s. The region is marked by a transition from large-scale holdings like Chowchilla Ranch and Bliss Ranch to more concentrated settlements along the Southern Pacific railroad corridor. The growing town of Chowchilla serves as a hub, while smaller stops such as Athlone, Minturn, and Legrand punctuate the rail line. A network of rural schools, including Savanna Sch and Ashview Sch, reflects the dispersed farming population of the time.
