1956 Map of Chounet Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chounet Ranch and Wood Ranch anchor the eastern flatlands of Fresno County, where the infrastructure of the California Aqueduct and multiple pipelines cut across the arid landscape. The topography transitions sharply from the alluvial plains into the dissected ridges of the Panoche Hills, marked by deep erosional features like Moreno Gulch and Gres Canyon. Traces of early industrial activity appear as a Prospect near Nonada Hill and a Gravel Pit along the southern wash. The map captures a period of significant water engineering, with the aqueduct and Russell Avenue defining the north-south transport corridors. This 1956 survey, updated with 1971 aerial data, documents the complex drainage systems of Marca Capita Canyon and Dosados Canyon as they descend toward the ephemeral Panoche Creek.
