1953 Map of Famoso

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks form the spine of this Central Valley landscape, tracing a direct line through small settlements and vast agricultural infrastructure. The community of Famoso serves as a central hub, while to the south, Minter Village sits adjacent to the Shafter Airport. This 1953 survey, with revisions through the late 1960s, documents a transition in water management as the Friant-Kern Canal, Lerdo Canal, and Calloway Canal crisscross the plains to feed the region's orchards and fields.
