1965 Map of Fresno North

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The San Joaquin River carves the northern boundary of this mid-1960s survey, marking the limit between Fresno and Madera counties. While much of the landscape is defined by the rigid grid of agricultural canals like the Herndon Canal and Enterprise Canal, the northward expansion of Fresno is clearly visible in the dense residential blocks pushing toward Pinedale. This era shows a community in rapid transition, where established rural features like the Figarden Sch and orchards around Figarden sit adjacent to new developments. Significant institutional footprints are evident, including the Fresno City College campus and the Veterans Hospital. The intersection of heavy rail and air travel is captured here, with the Southern Pacific tracks and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line converging near the industrial zones of Muscatel, while Sierra Sky Park serves the growing aviation needs of the suburban fringe.
