About this map

Clovis and the northern outskirts of Fresno represent an area in transition during the mid-1960s, where the agricultural legacy of the San Joaquin Valley meets postwar urban expansion. The landscape is defined by a dense network of irrigation features like the Enterprise Canal and Leonard Canal, which supported the surrounding orchards and fields. Extensive rail infrastructure from the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines underscores the region's importance as a distribution hub.

Educational growth is prominent, with numerous schools such as Weldon Sch, Scandinavian Sch, and the Calif State Univ Fresno campus serving the burgeoning residential areas of Tarpey Village and Glorietta. The 1972 revisions highlighted in purple capture the rapid southern growth of Clovis toward the Fresno Air Terminal, showing the conversion of open land into suburban tracts. Local landmarks, including the Clovis Cem and the Fresno Museum of Natural History, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
