1956 Map of Coit Ranch

About this map

Vista del Llano Farm and Coit Ranch anchor this landscape of intensive agricultural development in Fresno County. Surveyed in the mid-1950s with updates into the early 1980s, the map reveals a meticulously organized grid of roads and irrigation infrastructure. The territory is defined by large-scale farming operations, including Murietta Farm, supported by industrial agriculture facilities like Grain Elevators and Grain Tanks. The layout of the land reflects the mid-century expansion of the Central Valley's water management and transport systems, evidenced by the numerous wells and the Mendota Substation. Transportation and logistics are facilitated by a dedicated Landing Strip and a network of arterial roads such as Derrick Avenue and California Avenue, which divide the terrain into precise sections for large-scale production and local commerce.
