About this map

The growing city of Clovis sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, flanked by the expanding northern reaches of Fresno. The landscape is a structured grid of agricultural fields and residential developments, defined by a complex irrigation network including the Enterprise Canal and Clovis Ditch. This era marks a significant period of suburban transition, where family-named roads like Shepherd Ave and Herndon Ave intersect with established rail corridors of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe.

Key civic landmarks like Fresno State College and the Fresno Air Terminal highlight the region's modernization. Local history is preserved in the placement of the Clovis Cem and numerous neighborhood schools such as Weldon Sch and Scandinavian Sch. The map also captures smaller peripheral communities like Tarpey Village and Glorietta before they were fully integrated into the larger metropolitan sprawl.
