1929 Map of Ducor

About this map

Terra Bella and Ducor anchor this late 1920s landscape in Tulare County, illustrating the agricultural and infrastructural development of the southern San Joaquin Valley. The grid of the Pacific Highway and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks bisect the region, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line angles through the eastern hills. This period shows a transition toward modern utility and irrigation, evidenced by the Edison Company Transmission Line and the organized agricultural tract of the Deer Creek Colony. Water management is central to the area's layout, with Deer Creek and its Old Channel winding through the topography, alongside local landmarks like Wheatland Sch that served the growing rural community.
