1953 Map of Delano East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Delano and the Tulare-Kern county line comes into focus in this mid-century survey. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and irrigation infrastructure, most notably the Friant-Kern Canal which cuts diagonally across the eastern plains. In the western portion of the sheet, the urban core of Delano shows a cluster of civic and educational landmarks, including the Union High Sch, St Marys School, and Delano Terrace School. The Southern Pacific railroad parallels the main highway, supporting the local economy evidenced by the Winery and Wineries located near the town center. Small outlying settlements like Jovista, Trocha, and Bassett are scattered among the fields, while the White River and Rag Gulch provide the primary natural drainage features through the orchard-dotted terrain.
