About this map

The agricultural landscape of Fresno County unfolds in this 1963 survey, characterized by an extensive irrigation network and rail-dependent settlements. Tiny hubs like Bowles, Monmouth, and Conejo are anchored by the dual presence of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which cut diagonally across the grid of section roads and canals. Local education and community life are represented by several country school sites, including Monroe Sch, Terry Union Sch, and Conejo Sch.

The terrain is defined by its water management, featuring a complex system of ditches and canals such as the Kirby Ditch and Manning Canal. Numerous named water bodies like Willow Lake, Helmke Pond, and Martin Pond dot the farms, reflecting the managed hydrology essential for the region's productivity. Aviation is also present at the Selma Landing Strip, while the industrial footprint includes the McCall Substation near the northeastern rail junction.
