1942 Map of Corcoran
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Corcoran serves as the central hub of this Central Valley landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure meets the heavy rail lines of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and Southern Pacific RR. The map illustrates a highly managed agricultural environment, defined by a complex grid of canals and ditches including the Peoples Ditch, New Deal Canal, and Guiberson Ditch. The presence of the Corcoran Irrigation District Reservoir and numerous sloughs like Jersey Slough and Cain Slough highlight the critical role of water management in the region's 1940s economy.
