1956 Map of Charleston School

About this map

Hydraulic engineering and large-scale agriculture define this mid-century Central Valley landscape near the boundary of Merced and Fresno counties. The massive Delta-Mendota Canal carves a sharp diagonal across the terrain, accompanied by the Outside Canal and Main Canal, illustrating the intensive irrigation network required to sustain the surrounding fields. While the hills to the southwest remain relatively open, marked only by Laguna Seca Creek and the high point of White VABM 879, the valley floor is organized into a grid of orchards and farmland accessed by Charleston Ave and Mercy Springs Road.
