About this map

Farmersville and Exeter anchor this detailed landscape in Tulare County, where the agricultural productivity of the San Joaquin Valley is visible through an intricate network of irrigation features. The northern reaches are dominated by the Venice Hills, while the Kaweah River and St Johns River provide the primary water source for numerous canals such as the Wutchumna Ditch and Fleming Ditch. The presence of the Tulare County Farm Labor Supply Center near Linnell PO speaks to the region's mid-century reliance on organized agricultural labor.

Transportation and infrastructure define the settlement patterns here, with the Southern Pacific and Visalia Electric railroads connecting local packing houses and communities. Educational and social hubs appear throughout the rural township lines, from the Locust Grove Sch to the Sequoia State Fish Hatchery. This 1950 data, updated in 1969, reveals the development of small clusters like Cameron Creek Colony and East Farmersville alongside industrial elements like the Clay Pit and various sawmills.
