1953 Map of Famoso

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary spine of development in this San Joaquin Valley landscape, connecting the clustered settlements of Famoso, Slater, and Cawelo. Agricultural engineering is the dominant theme of the terrain, defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Friant-Kern Canal, Lerdo Canal, and Calloway Canal which divert water across the plains. These man-made channels contrast with the natural meandering course of Poso Creek as it flows toward the valley floor.
