1936 Map of El Rico Ranch

About this map

The expansive and dry Tulare Lake Bed dominates this landscape in the mid-1930s, revealing a terrain entirely transformed by water management and large-scale agricultural operations. The grid-like patterns of Pueblo Avenue, Redding Avenue, and 10th Avenue segment the former lake floor, serviced by a complex system of hydraulic infrastructure. Engineering projects like the Lovelace Levee, South Levee, and the Reclamation Ditch 16-18 demonstrate the intense effort required to reclaim this land for cultivation.
