1954 Map of Dudley Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Tulare Lake Bed dominates the northern half of this landscape, its flat expanse partitioned by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. Long Levee systems and irrigation works like the Blakeley Canal and Utica Avenue Canal illustrate the intensive mid-century efforts to manage the water of the San Joaquin Valley. To the south, the terrain rises into the distinct formation of Dudley Ridge, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying lake bed. The map reveals a specialized agricultural environment where water control is paramount, evidenced by numerous pumps and a prominent Pipe Line cutting through the western sections. Houser Camp appears as a rare point of named habitation in this industrial-scale landscape, offering a specific location for genealogists or local historians tracing those who worked and lived on the ridge during the 1950s.
