1954 Map of Delano West

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the San Joaquin Valley is meticulously documented in this survey, particularly where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail lines diverge across the Tulare Co Kern Co line. The growing city of Delano occupies the southeastern corner, featuring local institutions like Fremont Sch, Ellington School, and the Delano-McFarland District Cem. Beyond the city limits, the map reveals a highly engineered water management system essential for local orchards and vineyards, marked by the White River and numerous unnamed wells and reservoirs.
