1948 Map of Berenda

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Agricultural development and early transportation networks dominate this San Joaquin Valley landscape just after the mid-century. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through the heart of the region, anchoring settlements like Berenda and Califa, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe serves the eastern reaches near Sharon. The systematic grid of roads, including Lincoln Road and Jefferson Road, reflects the organized expansion of farming communities across the flat terrain. Natural drainage is primarily defined by Berenda Slough and Dry Creek, which meander through the otherwise rigid section lines. Local life is centered around rural hubs such as Fairmead and the Dixieland Sch, providing a clear look at the infrastructure that supported Madera County's growth before the heavy urbanization of later decades.
