1954 Map of El Rico Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Tulare Lake Bed dominates this mid-century landscape in Kings County, revealing a highly engineered environment where water management dictated settlement patterns. Surveyed by the USGS during the administration of Governor Goodwin J. Knight, the map illustrates a transition from natural hydrology to intensive irrigation and reclamation. A complex network of levees and canals, including the Tule River and the Progressive Canal, crisscrosses the former lake bottom to support large-scale agricultural operations.
