1947 Map of Fresno North

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The San Joaquin River forms the natural northern boundary of this survey, where the Circle M Ranch sits just across the Madera Co Fresno Co line. In the years following World War II, the landscape north of Fresno reveals a transition from the agricultural grid of the San Joaquin Valley to emerging military and institutional centers. Significant wartime infrastructure is evident at Camp Pinedale and the adjacent Army Air Forces Depot, while the academic footprint of Fresno State College and Fresno High Sch anchors the northern city districts. The map documents an extensive irrigation network, including the Bullard Canal and Enterprise Canal, which sustained the region's orchards and fields between the major rail lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe.
