1932 Map of El Rico Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Agricultural development and massive hydraulic engineering define this Central Valley landscape during the early 1930s. The region is heavily managed through an extensive network of artificial waterways and flood control structures, including the Lovelace Levee, the South Levee, and the El Rico Levee. These structures redirect the natural flow of the Tule River and Cross Creek to support large-scale landholdings. Industrialized farming operations like the Progressive Development Co and the namesake El Rico Ranch dominate the map, alongside family-named tracts such as Peterson Ranch and Johnson Ranch. The grid-like precision of 10th Avenue and Pueblo Avenue contrasts with the winding paths of the West Branch and Middle Branch, illustrating the transition from natural riparian systems to a highly engineered irrigation district served by the Dallas Canal and Guiberson Canal.
