1954 Map of Delano West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Agricultural development and industrial transport dominate this San Joaquin Valley landscape at the mid-century. The western outskirts of the growing community include civic landmarks such as Fremont Sch and Ellington School, while the Delano-McFarland District Cem serves the region's residents. The map captures a high-density rail infrastructure essential for the movement of goods, featuring the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines. Numerous specialized sidings, including Caratan, Butera, and Pagliarulo, indicate the intensity of local produce shipping. In the northern reaches, the White River crosses through an area marked by a sophisticated network of canals and irrigation reservoirs. This 1954 topography also identifies the rural settlement of Kernell and the Radio Tower KCHJ, providing a clear view of the area's transition from open range to a mechanized agricultural hub.
