1956 Map of Five Points

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Five Points emerges as a vital agricultural crossroads in this mid-1950s survey of the San Joaquin Valley. The landscape is defined by an intensive network of irrigation and industrial farming infrastructure, including the Crescent Ditch, Laguna Ditch, and Cerini Avenue Canal. The presence of several Labor Camps and a Cotton Gin near the town center highlights the era's reliance on large-scale seasonal labor and cotton production. This industrial character is further evidenced by clusters of Oil Tanks and Grain Tanks scattered across the grid. Cultural markers of the period include a Drive-in Theater and a Radio Tower on the western edge of town. Large family-named holdings like the Noble Ranch and Aladdin Ranch occupy substantial tracts between the natural courses of Elkhorn Slough and Fresno Slough, while the Wheatville (Site) serves as a reminder of earlier frontier settlements in Fresno County.
