1961 Map of Firebaugh NE

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Fresno River and the Chowchilla Canal dominate this agricultural stretch of the San Joaquin Valley, where water management defines the landscape. The intricate network of gridded roads, including Avenue 17 and Road 11, reflects a highly organized irrigation and farming economy in the early 1960s. Low-lying drainage areas like Berenda Slough and Dry Creek cross the terrain, while specialized land uses appear in the form of a Gun Club and several Gas Wells scattered near the Duck Pond. This survey captures the transition of the valley floor into a modern hydraulic environment, punctuated by rural infrastructure like an Airstrip and various siphons and wells that sustained the region's productivity during this era of post-war development.
