1956 Map of Five Points

About this map

The agricultural grid of Fresno County takes center stage in this mid-century survey, defined by the convergence of major local arteries at Five Points. This area is shaped by a sophisticated network of water management, including the Stinson Canal, Crescent Ditch, and Laguna Canal, which support a landscape of large-scale ranching and industry. Notable individual holdings such as Cuelho Ranch, Hawkins Ranch, and Noble Ranch are interspersed with facilities like a Cotton Gin and several labor camps, reflecting the region's intensive cotton and produce economy.
