1948 Map of Bliss Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Governor Earl Warren and State Engineer Edward Hyatt oversaw this postwar revision of the San Joaquin Valley landscape, where an orderly grid of section-line roads meets the meandering waters of the Chowchilla River and Ash Slough. The area is defined by large-scale agricultural operations and early resource extraction, centered around landmarks like the Bliss Ranch and the Chowchilla Ranch. Local education is anchored by the Alamo Sch and Ashview Sch, while several instances of Gas Well and scattered Windmill labels indicate the region's developing energy and water infrastructure. In the northwestern quadrant, the Red Top Ranch Airport provides a clear marker of modern transportation in a territory otherwise dominated by names such as Washington Road and Jefferson Road.
